At the forefront of innovation

Our commitment to innovation got us through the tough times and powers us now. We were early adopters of the Gold variety of kiwifruit when it was new in the 1990s. When PSA hit, we pioneered new techniques like putting entire orchards under canopies to prevent fruit rub and disease spread. Then we switched to the SunGold variety, and innovations like Supercharger plants are keeping us ahead.
