New Zealand Kiwifruit Gaining Ground with Exports to the U.S.

New Zealand Kiwifruit Gaining Ground with Exports to the U.S.

With over 30 percent retail sales growth in the US this year, Zespri kiwifruit is climbing the ranks of America’s fruit isle, now sitting at number 15 and eyeing a top-10 spot.

The New Zealand company reports kiwi is the fastest-growing fruit in the fruit category, and Zespri is the number one kiwifruit brand driving that growth, selling more than 4x the next best-selling brand.

Zespri attributes much of the brand’s momentum to the company’s popular SunGold variety, which is described as sweet, juicy, and very broadly appealing.
