Zespri is using an open ascending price auction to allocate licenses for its RubyRed and SunGold Kiwifruit varieties as part of this year's licence release process.
The intention is that these auctions are completed within a day, with the number of rounds depending on the level of grower demand for licence.
This page provides real-time updates as to the progress of completed licence rounds.
Successful bidders can view their total area and amount in the Bidders Report and will receive a confirmation email of their licence from Zespri after the last auction is completed on 5 May 2023.
Growers wanting assistance with the licence release process should contact the Zespri Licence Team on 07 572 6440 or via email New.Cultivars@zespri.com.
