The exportation of fruits is becoming increasingly important
Among fruits, the exportation and import of green and golden kiwi are growing, consisting a sizable part of the domestic market
However, today the food industry is facing many challenges such as the supply crunch and rising prices
Thus, the international market for fruits has also become more volatile
Farmers are now thinking of changing their products to less costly grains or decreasing their output
Nonetheless, it is believed that in the year 2020, the kiwi exportation will increase to 3
17 billion US dollars around the globe
This dollar exchange rate dropped by 27
8% in 2016, while the value of the exported Kiwis amounted to 2
5 billion US dollars
Moreover, between 2019 and 2020, Kiwi exports were around 5
3%
The five largest kiwi exporters (New Zealand, Italy, Greece, Chile, and Belgium) shipped in the year 2020 88
8% of the exported Kiwis
This percentage is based on a highly concentrated group of Kiwi suppliers
Among the continents, the most significant exports came from New Zealand and another vast majority from Australia
Countries usually export kiwis in dollars
In this respect, Australia shipped more than $1
74 billion, which comprises 54% of the average global exportation
In addition, the largest European countries with 35
8%
Excluding Mexico, the smallest amount of international kiwis are exported from Latin America (5
9%)
The kiwi exports from Asia, North America, and Africa are 2
4%, 1
1%, and 0
1% respectively
In the following sections, we will try to analyze different markets and shops that particularly work on kiwis
Zespri Kiwifruit
Among many platforms that offer kiwifruit barely can one compete with Zespri
It is offering both golden and green kiwis at a price almost half of the world’s retail cost and world-class quality
In the following lines, we will try to look at the kinds that Zespri is selling and their prices
Zespri is selling five main kinds of kiwis: ‘Zespri Sungold’ which as the name indicates is the inorganic golden type of the company that is highly juicy and sweet; ‘Zespri Green’, the green inorganic; ‘Zespri Rubyred’ which is a special kind of kiwi of the company with red flesh and smooth surfaces such as those of Golden kiwis; ‘Zespri Organic Sungold’ and ‘Zespri Organic Green’
Rich in flavor but with a sweet acidity for the palate, Zespri’s kiwifruit is high in fiber and packed with the digestive brightening enzyme actinidin
Their organic kiwis meet strict New Zealand organic quality and safety guidelines, and we take it a step further
Zespri’s website provides a unique platform not just for the purchase of golden kiwis but also for the information one needs to use for this kind of kiwis
For example, it teaches you how to slice, eat, and preserve golden kiwi
Moreover, it offers a wide array of recipes in which you can use golden kiwis
For example, in one recipe called ‘Green and Sungold Kiwifruit Tart’ both kinds of kiwis are blended with almond, butter, eggs, sugar, and vanilla as well as fruit juices of lemon and mango
Kiwi Import
As the exportation of kiwi is growing so is the import of this kind of fruit
Kiwifruit imports totaled $3,190 million in 2019, down from the previous year
In terms of volume, countries worldwide imported about 1
5 million tons of kiwifruit, down 2
3% year on year
According to global kiwi trade data, China and Japan imported the most kiwis, each worth more than $4
5 million
Together, both countries share about 27% of total kiwifruit imports
However, each country might have imposed some regulations on the imports of the kiwis
In the following lines, we will try to introduce some of these regulations and the qualifications that some countries require for that matter
The USA for example requires the following specifications for the grade and size of kiwi fruits
All kiwis must be at least the equivalent of number 1 of kiwi fruits in the US, and this fruit must not be “heavily discolored
Moreover, kiwis should not be smaller than 45 in size, regardless of the size or weight of shipping containers
The average weight of all samples in a given batch must be at least 8 lbs, provided that no individual sample weighs less than 7 lbs
12 ounces in weight
Sample sizes consist of a maximum of 55 pieces of fruit
If the containers have size designations, the containers with different designations should be checked separately
And, the minimum maturity at the time of the examination should be 6
2 soluble
Global Kiwi Fruit Market
As we have seen, the global market for kiwi as a valuable fruit is growing both in terms of quality and quantity
In the following line, we would try to briefly analyze the kiwi market since 2010
Since 2010, kiwifruit imports have increased significantly due to increased demand in China and Europe
According to kiwifruit import statistics, the total import volume increased at an average annual rate of +2
7% from 2007 to 2019, but the trend indicates some noticeable fluctuations recorded in specific years
Global imports of kiwis peaked at 1
6 million tons in 2016; from 2017 to 2019, however, imports were at a slightly lower level
The global market saw growth in kiwi fruit production, which increased by 4
1% to 4
3 million tons in 2019
Overall, total kiwifruit production showed significant growth from 2007 to 2019, illustrating a compound annual growth rate of over 4% over the past twelve years
China (2
1 million tons) is the world’s largest kiwifruit-producing country, accounting for 49% of the total volume in 2019, and China still imports more kiwifruit than others to meet consumption
Italy (578,000 tons) and New Zealand (533,000 tons) follow
