Yeah. Yeah, hawks both farmer as well. And Mike knows a thing or two about trade, as you said, former New Zealand Special Agricultural Trade Envoy, former chair of Beef and Lamb New Zealand, current chair of Scales, one of our bigger's horticulture companies, And you said, we're basically we're going to have to tread warily between our two biggers markets now the China or China and the US, and we need to try and keep a foot in both camps. Interestingly, in an interview I was reading from Mike, he said, on the domestic front, while many farmers feel they have a farmer friendly government and they certainly have Ryan, compared to what those poor buggers in the UK are facing under Secre Starmer. He's saying that the government has a big picture agenda as well. But when it comes to that big picture agenda, I meeting Paris climate climate accord agreements. Not everyone in the government, it seems, agrees with that big picture, especially the likes of Winston and even David Seymour's the jury's out to web it on that one. So Mike Petterson saying farmers might like the government, but they might might not like some of their actions around climate change targets. But he's saying it's nothing that science and innovation can't take care of. Many people would argue maybe that's not the case, but anyhow, someone's and upwards for the primary sector. And as I said after speaking to my UK farm and correspondent to Day the UK Ryme where they had another massive farmer protest, we've got it good in New Zealand.

Yeah, particularly with the government and regulation. As you mentioned, Jamie Zesprey is claiming a world first. What's this about?

Yeah, particularly with the government and regulation. As you mentioned, Jamie Zesprey is claiming a world first. What's this about?

Yeah, this is this is quite a cool story. We came or came across today or was it yesterday, The only fruit company in the world that will shortly have all its products sewn with home else sold should I say with Home compostible labels. You know when you're eating your Kiwi fruit gold and I've got those annoying plastic little labels. Well they're going to be a thing of the past. They're going to be all compostible, which will be great, and it's going to be on all fruit grown in New Zealand or offshore. Remember that Zesbury's making a real play for all year round supply by having growers in the Northern Hemisphere as well. A lot of these European nations are demanding fully compostible fruit stickers and I think it's a really good thing. So there's a bit of a challenge with these. There's three parts to them, the top, the face, top, and the actual label itself. They've all got to be compostible. They've got about a stick to a hairy surface, especially when it comes to green key with fruit. The labels need to cope and call stores and out on the market floor where it might be a wee bit warmer, and more importantly, obviously they need to break down in the compost heap. So there we go. Well done, Zespree. They're world leaders and a lot of things, and I guess they can add compostible stickers to that list.
