Antwerp—A record volume of New Zealand-grown gold kiwifruit will be marketed in Europe this year as more and more consumers get to know Zespri's new SunGold variety. New Zealand marketer Zespri expects to sell its biggest-ever volume of New Zealand-grown SunGold kiwi-fruit in Europe this season as it continues its impressive recovery from Psa, the disease that stalled its progress in developing the market for previous cultivar Horti6A. Europe is understood to be "more than ready" to absorb the larger tonnage, which will amount to around 10m trays compared with 6.6m last year, well above the previous record of 6.9m trays set by Zespri Gold prior to the outbreak.
