KIKU® apples displayed at PMA convention in New Zealand
KIKU® apples attracted interest with the delegates at PMA Auckland.
While in the past KIKU® apples grown in New Zealand were predominantly exported to complement Northern Hemisphere production. Over the past 8 years these exports have achieved significant success in American and Asian markets. With maturing plantings however increasing volumes will become available for consumption in Australia and New Zealand alike.
Originating from a strict selection program, the protected apple variety marketed under the KIKU® brand, is characterized by its attractive ruby-red stripes coupled with a superior taste and high Brix levels, clearly matching consumer preferences.
Vertically integrated company PickMee!, who participated as a KIKU® partner right from the beginning, was showcasing at their stand alongside other premium products, their recent harvest of KIKU® apples. During the 2 days a significant interest from retailers and distributors was noticed, who are looking for products that can enhance the overall performance in that category.
Due to its managed production, which includes stringent quality standards and dedicated distribution channels, KIKU® apples have proven to return premiums for all partners in this supply and marketing chain and therefore offer advantages to all participating partners.
