Zespri Organic SunGold Kiwifruit

Zespri is the world's largest marketer of kiwifruit, selling in over 50 countries. The brand originated in New Zealand, founded as a cooperative to represent the interests of New Zealand's kiwifruit growers. The SunGold variety is a specific gold-fleshed cultivar developed through Zespri's natural breeding program.

While New Zealand remains the primary hub for production and the headquarters for the brand, Zespri operates a global supply chain to maintain year-round availability. This involves partnering with licensed growers in the Northern Hemisphere—most notably in Italy and France—to harvest fruit when it is out of season in New Zealand. The cooperative remains owned by past and present New Zealand growers, maintaining a unique business model that prioritizes the returns of the orchardists themselves.
