Growing Kiwi Fruit


Growing kiwi fruit - ZESPRI™ never stops looking for new and exciting varieties of kiwifruit, and new ways to use and even to process ZESPRI™ Kiwifruit with its distinctive tangy taste and healthy goodness. With more than 2500 owner-producers, a staff of team players dedicated to championing the brand all around the world by building mutually beneficial relationships with suppliers and customers, and with its own Research and Development unit, ZESPRI International continues to be a leading kiwifruit pioneer.

The pioneering spirit has never left the New Zealand kiwifruit industry. The continuous quest for improvement and excellence remains a driving force for ZESPRI International - to develop new varieties, find new markets and customers, and develop new ways to use kiwifruit's great taste and health benefits.

ZESPRI has its headquarters in Auckland, New Zealand, with an operations base at Mount Maunganui in the Bay of Plenty, prime kiwifruit country. The company employs nearly 200 people and the brand, and staff who champion it, are to be found all around the world. They are not just buyers, sellers and distributors. From orchard to market, ZESPRI staff are team players, ready to back up, form relationships with and support other equally dedicated partners.

ZESPRI's policy is to recruit and keep qualified people who understand local conditions and the markets in which the company operates. By focusing on building good relationships with suppliers and customers, we aim to create business growth for everyone in the chain, from orchard to the shop shelf.

The company's distribution and marketing networks are segmented to meet the needs of specific markets and individual customers, from large supermarket chains to wholesalers. Long term relationships and marketing programmes give ZESPRI a good base from which to provide direct customer support and increase awareness of the brand and its values. The result is sales which are successful for all parties.
