Topic “Pipfruit NZ” — Exporter Magazine
Pipfruit NZ chief executive Peter Beaven says apple exporters expect to have more than 17 million cartons to sell this year. Bred by Crown Research Institute Plant & Food, the new pear – or cultivar – is known for the time being as PremP109. And it is an apple pear, a term increasingly used in the US. It is a cross between a Chinese and a Japanese pear and it is hoped it will have strong consumer appeal in global fruit markets abroad.
