The 12-month distribution programme, known as Zespri Global Supply (ZGS), has reached the age of 20 years. Aimed at providing continuous supply and maintaining an extraordinary quality standard all year long, Zespri™ has plantations on both hemispheres, mainly in Europe and New Zealand. In all these plantations the twelve-step quality control system is implemented, to ensure that consumers can enjoy their delicious kiwis all year long.
In line with this commitment, Zespri™ is also seeking to ensure a sustainable future, from its cultivation processes and packaging centres to the marketplace, with some goals based on 100% recyclable, reusable or compostable packaging for 2025; a positive carbon footprint for 2035; an adaptation plan for its production based on climate change; and the promotion of healthier lifestyles, with programmes launched in 2022 on the main markets.
The Zespri Global Supply system is structured around three pillars: crop, storage and transport. This system places particular attention on the cultivation of their kiwis, treated with fertilisers made from reused organic material and a responsible use of water.
