New Zealand’s Zespri Gold kiwifruit is all set to take on the European market as the season begins with targets of more shops and high quality point of sales material, Zespri’s Jean Louis Warnimont wrote in FreshPlaza.com. Satara Co-operative Group has told its kiwifruit growers in Te Puke, the zone worst-hit by the Psa virus, not to invest in new cultivars being offered by Zespri International, according to Bay of Plenty Times. Bay of Plenty kiwifruit is arriving in Europe at an increasingly speedier rate thanks to a supply agreement between Zespri and major shipowners and operators Seatrade, according to Bay of Plenty Times. A new kiwifruit fruit, with a striking red centre, exotic flavour and a creamy texture, is to be launched this week by Turners & Growers. Branded as EnzaRed kiwifruit, this is the first major change to the fruit since the gold kiwi more than a decade ago.
