Kiwifruit growers hope to strike gold with new product
Zespri is risking millions of dollars on the launch of an entirely new product - the bald, gold kiwifruit. The 5 effort, Zespri says, has been a great success. But with Zespri Gold making up only 10 percent of total New Zealand kiwifruit produc tion, the company must be careful to continue to promote the traditional hairy green variety, which has annual sales of NZ$500m (US$224m) and is New Zealand's single most important fruit export.
In Japan Zespri managers decided to emphasise the fruit's health-giving, energy-enhancing qualities. The new variety is sweeter and more attractive to Asian tastes. Yu Jan Chen, regional manager for Zespri in Japan and Asia, says: 'It is ideal for the Asian markets.' He says it is selling 'very well' in Japan, and is also being marketed in South Korea and Taiwan. The export season began slowly because the traditional green fruit was unusually small and difficult to sell. However, sales picked up when the gold fruit became available.
The successful launch of the gold fruit is expected to increase profits in the long term. The Kiwifruit Marketing Board has retained all marketing and selling rights for Europe and overseas for the trademarked variety. This will protect revenue as the gold variety is planted worldwide.
The board has already signed contracts with the four largest kiwifruit cooperatives in Italy, and planting has begun. The area for planting is expected to grow steadily, eventually producing millions of trays.
As Guus Van Der Kleij, regional manager for Europe, says, 'It is an excellent product: after 25 years selling traditional green kiwifruit, you don't know how exciting it is to sell something different.'
