Kiwifruit industry in New Zealand

Kiwifruit is a major horticultural export earner in New Zealand. New Zealand is the second largest kiwifruit producing country, next to Italy,[1] and holds approximately 30% of the market share. In the 2008-2009 season the value New Zealand kiwifruit exports was NZ$1.45 billion.[2] Kiwifruit is native to the Yangtze River valley on the coast of Eastern China. The New Zealand Kiwifruit industry began with Mary Isabel Fraser, a teacher and missionary, bringing kiwifruit seeds to New Zealand from China in 1904.[3][4] A New Zealand horticulturalist, Hayward Wright, developed the well-known green kiwifruit in Avondale, New Zealand, around 1924. Origin of the Fruit[edit] Origins of the Industry[edit] The first commercial planting of Chinese gooseberries occurred in 1937 by the orchardist Jim MacLoughlin.

Cultivation of the fuzzy kiwifruit spread from China in the early 20th century, when seeds were introduced to New Zealand by Mary Isabel Fraser, the principal of Wanganui Girls' College, who had been visiting mission schools in Yichang, China.[4] The seeds were planted in 1906 by a Wanganui nurseryman, Alexander Allison, with the vines first fruiting in 1910.
