April 27, 2017 Atiny Peruvian woman wakens long before the 5 a.m. sunrise, tiptoeing around her family’s darkened hut to get dressed. She opens the door and twilight creeps in, clinging to her kaleidoscopic ensemble: a vibrant pink, ankle-length skirt and a loud yellow cardigan embroidered with flowers and zigzags. She defers donning her straw hat until later, leaving her sun-scarred nose and cheeks exposed.
As she steps outside, Dora Jallahui Vilca’s feet sink slightly into the dewy ground, the hewn reeds bending with her weight. Like the tens of thousands of residents ancient and modern who have been born, lived and died over the centuries on this man-made island, she gives little thought to the lake beneath her feet.

Zespri to try Sungold trials in China again
In June, New Zealand kiwifruit growers will get a chance to say yes or no to a Zespri proposal for one-year trial to grow SunGold kiwifruit in China. The aim of the trial is to control the amount of illegally grown Zespri Gold 3 in China.
Some years ago, a Chinese national illegally sold cuttings of Gold 3 to growers in China and now it s estimated that there is about 4,500 hectares of the fruit in the Asian nation.
Zespri s chief innovation and sustainability officer Carol Ward says the organisation is concerned at the level of spread of unauthorised Gold 3 in China and has been looking at ways to try and stop this.
