CHAIRMAN
AND CEO REVIEW
In the first half of 2021, we have seen a
continuation of the industry-wide challenges
we saw last year, and this has had an impact
on our financial results for the six months to 30
June 2021.
Like many companies around the world, we continue to find
ourselves in a period of uncertainty and volatility, and COVID-19
continues to impact our business. In responding to this, we’ve
stayed absolutely focused on what we can control and our long-
term strategic growth plans, and we’d like to thank our people
and our growers for everything they’ve done.
We are incredibly proud of our T&G whanāu. While it’s been a
difficult start to the year, they’ve supported each other, brought
our purpose to life, delivered on our strategy, solved challenges
as they’ve come up, and kept fruit and vegetables flowing to our
consumers and customers in more than 60 countries.
Globally, there’s unabated demand for high-quality fresh
produce and we’re seeing very strong growth potential for our
premium brands. Accordingly, while we continue to operate in a
challenging COVID-19 environment, we are very optimistic about
the future and our ability to harness the opportunities ahead.
PERFORMANCE
For the first six months of 2021, total revenue for the Group
decreased by 2.9% ($19.3 million) to $652.1 million, compared
to the same period last year, and operating profit decreased
to $10.9 million from $19.5 million. Profit before income tax
decreased 63% to $5.1 million, down from $13.7 million.
Industry-wide challenges across several parts of our business -
particularly in our Apples business, contributed to the lower first-
half result. The Apples business reported decreased revenue
for the period of $425.0 million, down $15.5 million from the
corresponding 2020 period.
International supply chain challenges, including disrupted
shipping schedules and a shortage of containers, had more
of an impact in the first half of 2021 than we experienced
proportionately last year. This affected our ability to get fresh
produce to market on-time. Our team worked hard to address
this, sourcing several charter ships and partnering with other
businesses and industries to help meet global customer
demand for our produce. While this enabled us to smooth the
transition from northern hemisphere to southern hemisphere
supply, these supply chain issues contributed to our financial
performance.
Adverse weather conditions at the start of the season in Nelson
impacted a significant portion of our apples, and that of our
growers. In addition, the apples ripened early, creating a race to
get the fruit off trees with a shortage of skilled workers ready to
work in the regions.
To overcome the shortage, our team worked hard to hire more
than 950 New Zealanders throughout the season to work
alongside a reduced number of Recognised Seasonal Employer
(RSE) team members. We also invested heavily in automation,
welcoming eight new state-of-the-art automated picking
platforms to increase productivity on our Hawke’s Bay orchards,
while also assisting in reducing injuries. Despite these efforts,
at the peak of the season we were still short around 300 people
per day, which meant we had to leave some apples unpicked,
including some destined for export.
Just over a year has passed since the creation of our New
Zealand domestic business, T&G Fresh, following our acquisition
of Freshmax New Zealand Limited. The business has also
experienced challenges in the first six months of the year, with
tough trading conditions across the entire primary industry
sector further exacerbated by labour constraints. COVID-related
issues and weather also played its part, with early stone fruit
adversely affected by hail and complexities with the importing
of bananas. Our own-grown tomatoes were also impacted,
resulting in significant price decreases due to an oversupply in
the market.
4 | T&G GLOBAL LIMITED INTERIM REPORT 2021
We continue to look at ways to improve operating efficiencies
and business performance by embedding best practice systems
across T&G. Furthermore, we continue to divest non-essential
assets, with the recent sale of our 490 Nayland Road property in
Nelson, which will settle in November (following last year’s sale-
and-leaseback of 484 Nayland Road). By freeing up cashflow it
allows us to reinvest in new growth activities, including exploring
new genetics opportunities globally, investing in our Apples
business and continuing to invest in higher-returning physical
assets and technology.
LOOKING AHEAD
We’re well progressed on our pathway to transition to a high-
tech, automated growing and post-harvest model, as well as
building capabilities amongst our local workforce, however this
is a process which will take years to transition to.
In the six months ahead, we’ll further progress our ambitious
growth strategy by harnessing the best genetics, building
premium brands and in-market capabilities, and delivering
strong sales momentum. To do this, we’ll continue to optimise
our supply chain.
The long-term growth of our premium Apples category, including
our Envy™ brand, is a critical priority. To support Envy’s™ ability
to meet future worldwide demand, the Board recently approved
significant capital investment which will be used to further
redevelop orchards, invest in new on-orchard technology, as well
as in new state-of-the-art post-harvest systems.
Our underlying financial strength and our team’s resilience,
expertise and ability to rapidly adapt to the changing operating
environment, means we’re well positioned to not only meet
the current challenges head-on but maximise our future
global growth.

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)
Fair value hierarchy
All financial assets and liabilities that use methods and assumptions to estimate fair value at 30 June 2021 are considered to be level 2 in
the fair value hierarchy (30 June 2020: level 2; 31 December 2020: level 2).
Valuation techniques used to value financial instruments are consistent with those used in the 2020 Annual Report.
For the six months ended 30 June 2021 and for the financial year ended 31 December 2020, the estimated fair values of all of the Group’s
other financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying values.

The Group’s operating segments are subject to seasonal fluctuations. The Apples operating segment generates most of its revenue
during the middle of the year and completes its seasonal programmes before the final quarter of the year. The Group’s other operating
segments are also impacted by the availability of fresh produce which varies during the year.
12. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
During the six months ended 30 June 2021, the Board resolved to pay a fully imputed final dividend to the shareholders of 6.0 cents per
share in respect of the 2020 financial year. The dividend was fully paid on 8 July 2021.
There are no other material events that occurred after the reporting date that would require adjustment or disclosure in these unaudited

T&G Global reports its 2021 Interim Results
At a glance
• Revenue: $652.1 million, down from $671.3 million
• Operating profit: $10.9 million, down from $19.5 million
• Net profit before tax: $5.1 million, down from $13.7 million
• Net profit after tax: $3.4 million, down from $9.5 million
• Net assets: $514.9 million, up from $479.8 million
T&G Global today announced its Interim Results for the six months to 30 June 2021, which show
the Group has not been immune to the pressure of continuing industry-wide challenges.
Total revenue for the Group decreased by 2.9% to $652.1 million, compared to the same period
last year, and operating profit decreased to $10.9 million from $19.5 million. Profit before income
tax decreased 63% to $5.1 million, down from $13.7 million.
Chief Executive Gareth Edgecombe says while COVID-19 continues to impact the business, T&G
has stayed absolutely focused on what it can control and its long-term strategic growth plans.
“The first half of the year has been challenging, with ongoing uncertainty and volatility. Our T&G
whānau responded strongly to this, supporting each other, delivering on our strategy and keeping
fresh produce flowing to consumers and customers around the world. I’m incredibly proud of our
people and our growers,” says Gareth.
“Globally, high-quality fresh produce is more in demand than ever before and we’re seeing
incredible growth potential for our premium brands. Despite this, continuing international supply
chain challenges, including disrupted shipping schedules, had more of an impact than we
experienced proportionately last year. This affected our ability to get fresh produce to market on-
time. We worked hard to address this, sourcing several charter ships and partnering with other
businesses and industries, however these issues contributed to our financial performance.”
T&G’s Apples business reported a decrease in revenue for the period to $425.0 million, down
$15.5 million from the corresponding 2020 period.
“We had a challenging start to the season for our Apples business, with adverse weather
conditions in Nelson impacting a significant portion of our crop and our growers. In addition, the
apples ripened early, creating a race to get the fruit off trees with a shortage of skilled workers
ready to work in the regions. This meant we saw an unprecedented amount of unpicked fruit.
“We worked hard to address the shortage of skilled and experienced workers, hiring more than 950
New Zealanders throughout the season. We also invested heavily in automation, welcoming eight
new state-of-the-art automated picking platforms to increase productivity on our Hawke’s Bay
orchards, while also assisting in reducing injuries. Despite these efforts, at the peak of the season
we were still short around 300 people per day.
“Looking ahead, we’re well progressed on our pathway to transition to a high-tech, automated
growing and post-harvest model, and building capabilities amongst our local workforce, however
this is a process which will take years to transition to.”
The company remains firmly committed to investing in its premium Apples business and in
particular, growing its Envy™ brand to meet worldwide demand.
“Across our business, we’re focused on harnessing the best genetics, building premium brands
and in-market capabilities, and delivering strong sales momentum. To do this, we’re continually
optimising our supply chain and are pleased that significant capital investment has been approved
by our Board to support our future strategic direction.”
Challenges were also felt by T&G Fresh, T&G’s domestic New Zealand business, as tough trading
conditions across the entire primary industry sector were further exacerbated by labour constraints.
COVID-related issues and weather also played its part, with early stone fruit adversely affected by
hail, complexities with the importing of bananas and the exporting of T&G’s own-grown tomatoes,
which, in relation to tomatoes, led to significant price decreases due to an oversupply in the
market.
New Chairman, Benedikt Mangold, says despite the financial performance, T&G’s underlying
financial strength, combined with its strategy and capabilities, means its well positioned to
maximise future global growth.
“In these uncertain times, T&G’s resilience, strategy and team has enabled the company to remain
well positioned to meet future growth objectives. The Board is proud of the team’s ability to remain
agile and rapidly adapt to its changing operating environment, and I’m confident that we’ll be able
to meet the current challenges head on.”
