I have never known such fluid times, as the Reserve Bank turns the dial one more notch to endeavour to cool rising inflation. (I am yet to see the effect on the internet shopping coming in our front door at home!) Case in point has been the ongoing construction of our coolstores that we commenced last year for the season gone, and still unfinished.

我从未见过如此动荡的时期，因为储备银行将刻度盘再调一个刻度，努力为不断上升的通货膨胀降温。（我还没看到我们家前门的网上购物会受到什么影响！）例如，我们正在进行的冷却库建设，我们去年开始了这个季节，但至今仍未完工。

The build was always going to be tight. When I met the project manager who was driving from the other side of Hamilton every day, I was a little nervous. It was not long after we had started the build, that he announced that he would not be able to deliver all the coolstore rooms in time for the season. Immediately, we started looking for offsite coolstores, to fill the void, and to our relief, we managed to obtain cool storage on the other side of Tauranga. Shortly after, we then got further news, (from what was now our third project manager) that they possibly could not deliver any coolstore rooms for the season. Thankfully, we had decided to take out an advance shipping contract with Zespri, as insurance for further changes. In late May, the contractor was able to complete three of the fifteen coolstore rooms which gave us enough space to store all the fruit.

建筑总是很紧凑。当我遇到每天从汉密尔顿另一边开车的项目经理时，我有点紧张。在我们开始建造后不久，他就宣布他无法在这个季节及时交付所有冷藏室。很快，我们就开始寻找异地冷藏库，以填补空缺。令我们松了一口气的是，我们设法在陶朗加的另一边找到了冷藏库。不久之后，我们得到了进一步的消息，（来自我们现在的第三个项目经理）他们可能无法为这个季节提供任何冷藏室。谢天谢地，我们决定与Zespri猕猴桃签订一份提前装运合同，作为进一步变更的保险。五月底，承包商完成了十五间冷藏室中的三间，为我们提供了足够的空间来存放所有水果。

The change to our normal construction programs has seen construction time and expenses double over the last three years. Where is all the money going?
在过去三年中，我们的正常施工计划发生了变化，施工时间和费用翻了一番。钱都去哪里了？

This situation is typical of all areas of business at present. We however continue to invest in humidity-controlled packing and automating line 4 and hope that Putin’s behaviour improves, the temperatures in Europe subside and Xi Jinping loses interest in a holiday home in Taiwan. Despite all the uncertainties the fruit quality coming out of storage is currently looking ok.
这种情况是目前所有业务领域的典型情况。 尽管存在所有的不确定性，但贮藏后的水果质量目前看起来还不错。

Lastly, the conversation around exploding fruit continues. Zespri reports significantly higher levels of Non-Pathogenic Fungal Growth (or Alternaria) are being found across industry at ECPI and in-market. This has been attributed to higher levels of explosive fruit at harvest/packing. To assist growers to understand the levels found in their harvest bins, we will be re-issuing End of Season Packout Reports next week to include information on the number of explosives found at packing for the KPIN.

最后，关于水果爆炸的话题还在继续。Zespri报告称，ECPI和市场上的整个行业都发现了明显较高水平的非致病性真菌生长（或链格孢菌）。这归因于收获/包装时爆炸性水果的含量较高。为了帮助种植者了解收获箱中发现的炸药含量，我们将于下周重新发布季末打包报告，其中包括KPIN包装中发现的爆炸物数量信息。
