Kiwi Fruit

NFC first started packing the green Haywood variety in 2009, and as orchards matured, started packing the gold variety in 2011. With picking taking place in March, kiwi fruit fill a niche between the finish of the mango and lychee seasons and start of the avocado season. They also mature at a time when the market is keen for some fresh home grown fruit, at the tail end of the Italian import season.

The introduction of the inline stickering system complements the Compac grading system and has made packing kiwi fruit much more efficient.
