In a new round of cooperation between Jingdong and Zespri, even more kiwis will be transported to the original birthplace of kiwis: China.
Many people believe that kiwis originally came from New Zealand, but in reality the origins of kiwis lie in China. But kiwis were never popular in China until they were distributed by New Zealand in the early 20th century. But for the Chinese, kiwis are still a Chinese fruit.
Because kiwis contain fiber, potassium, vitamin C and other components, they are considered to be a super fruit. When American troops were stationed in New Zealand during the second world war, kiwis became popular and were renamed after the New Zealand bird. Since then, they have become one of the largest export products of New Zealand.
In more recent history, kiwis became popular in China and the were increasingly used in the production of juice and yoghurt. The import demand for kiwis rose day by day. In 2016, kiwis accounted for up to 15% of the total sales volumes of Jingdong. The kiwis caused an online sales eruption, even in comparison to the traditional champions on the Chinese market (bananas, apples and pineapples) and tropical fruits (such as pomelo fruit and loquat fruit).

The rapid rise in interest for the kiwis benefits from the strongly increased interest by the Chinese to buy imported fruits. Last year, Jingdong simplified the buying proces in order to be able to meet the growing demands of so many Chinese consumers. This makes kiwi shopping even easier for Chinese consumers.

Consumers appreciate the high quality of brands such as Zespri. They also truly appreciate the precise and unfalteringly quick delivery at home of their fresh fruits. All these factors helped to realise the astounding development of the fresh produce market. The cooperation is without any doubt a great aid for Zespri in its attempts to enter the Chinese market.
