Important notes

Types

The two most popular varieties of kiwifruit are Actinidia Deliciosa ( green-fleshed kiwifruit ) and Actinidia Chinensis ( gold-fleshed kiwifruit ). Aside from the flesh color, golden kiwi are softer, sweeter, less hairy, and are known to fetch better prices than their green counterparts, such as the popular Hayward variety.

Genders

Females are the fruiting plants.

Males are non-fruiting but needed for pollination because Varieties flower at different times and require a compatible Male.

Ripening season

We offer kiwifruit with different ripening seasons to leverage your marketability. For example, our South African partners favor two varieties with early ripening season, which allows them to be sold in the European market before Zespri's fruit arrive.

Dry Matter (DM) %

The percentage of dry matter in the fruit.

The ripe fruit is sliced, weighed and put in a dryer for 24 hours to remove moisture. The DM is compared with earlier weight and expressed as a percentage.

Crop

Production per canopy hectare  (tonnes).

SNZI's kiwifruit are unique in that we use natural breeding techniques only for all of our varieties, including our gold kiwifruit. While many companies use genetic modification, we feel pure and natural is best, both for the kiwifruit growing community and for the health of our customers.

Our NO-GMO approach gives our products a huge marketing advantage as well. With the increasing international concern over GMO products, GMO cultivation and import bans are increasing. You will never have that problem with SNZI kiwifruit.
