A fruitful season's in the wind for Kiwifruit growers this year.

Zespri's seasonal November forecast projects record returns for all its fruit crops.

The fruit company is putting it down to growers' efforts to improve quality, despite harsh conditions in recent years.

Zespri Head of Global Public Affairs Michael Fox says strong market demand, respect for the brand and strong supply chain partnerships will boost Zespri's returns.
