How Kiwis Are Bred To Perfection In New Zealand | Big Business | Business Insider

[@Richard-ek5wt]

Imagine bringing seeds back home from vacation only to inadvertently set up a multibillion dollar industry one century later

[@mihawk-qm2uf]

What an incredible thought! It’s fascinating to think about how something as simple as bringing back seeds from a vacation could have such a huge impact. Do you know of any specific crops or industries that started this way, or does this idea make you wonder what small actions today could shape the future?

They taste SO good! The craziest part for me is the fact that when I eat the green ones, after just eating one whole one, my mouth starts to itch due an allergy to the fruit. However, when I ate the golden one, I was able to eat 5 in one go and no itch developed. I don't know the science behind it but how awesome is that?

[@taylorgarrett793]

did u also eat the skin? cause ya not ment to do that

[@StuffandThings_]

Its not an allergy, kiwifruit contain a compound called actinidain which functions very similar to bromelain in that it breaks down proteins. The gold ones are probably just a lot lower in that compound. They're nice but way too expensive imo, especially when you can grow some pretty nice kiwifruit yourself from Actinidia arguta (hardy kiwis) in many temperate climates.

[@Texasbarbie777]

The same thing happens to me too 😂 I always itch from the green ones

[@evangonzalez2245]

Kiwi here, good job. Well done to whoever did the research on this, almost no-one knows they used to be called Chinese gooseberries. Great job on your pronunciation of Māori names too, Te Puke was spot on!THANK YOU for calling them Kiwi FRUIT (shame they didn’t in the title). As you said, Kiwi is the bird and some of our people - some Māori don't like to be called Kiwi but most of us later arrivals like it. 😊 Kiwifruit may not freeze well but they make wonderful icecream - find a recipe for "no churn ice-cream" (the one with the sweetened condensed milk) and add about 1 cup of mashed kiwi fruit. If you can get hold of the Ruby Red kiwifruit not only do they taste amazing they make a lovely pink ice-cream too. 🍨

[@annikameret9611]

When I was in NZ in 2018, orchards and packhouses just hired backpackers. Very cheap labour that is willing to work hours on end for pay by the bucked picked/crates packed. Very few Kiwis would actually do that job, apart from management of course

[@Sndyj457]

Locals are hired because they don’t want the job and are lazy. They aren’t doing them a favor they are taking advantage of them

[@isuckatguitar6252]

I did it on a working holiday visa back in the early 2000's. Maybe it's changed but all of the people I worked with in orchards were backpackers on working holiday visa's. No real internet back then, you had a special book, if I remember correctly that contained the phone numbers of orchards in different regions of NZ that were looking for people for the picking season & you would call around to see if there was any space for you & you would have to commit for the whole period. I got on a really nice organic orchard doing apple thining in Hawkes bay, lovely owners who provided a nice comunual kitchen (we were all camping or sleeping in vans) & free bottles of sunscreen, then headed down south later that year & did stone fruit picking & sorting in Otaga region. In between plenty of hiking & van life.

[@Huia87]

It's a cultural issue partly: Kiwi's need to be more assertive and courageous. BE A KIWI, NOT A SHEEP!! Kiwi birds fight like demons when attacked. Most New Zealanders just take it then complain, like sheep... No action or fighting spirit... Aussies are better in this respect. If you piss off an Australian you will know about it... Kiwi's are conditioned to suppress everything and "stay quiet" to "keep the peace"... even if that means accepting tyranny!! Partly why our drug use and DV rates are so high. All that repressed anger and dakness doesn't just disappear. Too many of us are too passive with no balls or courage when tested. I am useless at many things and am not perfect. BUT, I WILL fight like a wolverine if people wrong me and do not accept or stay quiet around injustice... I'm part Spanish and part Kiwi. Moving to Spain soon. Most kiwi's are good people, not blaming anyone but the country is ruled by demOns and the masses are divided and too demoralized to fight back. Ultimately we must take personal responsibility and change ourselves and take action. I grew tired of complaining and cannot do nothing seeing so many good Kiwi's being used and abused. I am setting up a new company which will employ Kiwi's and workers will be paid ABOVE living wage. "Be the change you wish to see"

[@Huia87]

Btw, I am not personally attacking anyone in this thread!! : I have experienced bullying/bad treatment by bosses here in NZ. Most of the time I could do nothing about it... I get it... We are treated badly as employees ASA RULE (!?!?)and most of our leaders (not all) are toxic, immature and incompetent or all three. You cannot fight the system. We need to build a new one that renders this one obsolete! Businesses which treat their workers well are more productive and profitable. They outcompete toxic workplaces.

As I recall someone was caught trying to smuggle some cuttings out of NZ, some new varieties they were working on - might have been the gold one for all I know as it was quite a while ago.

[@Anorexic_Clown]

because they did, they stole about 6000 hectares worth of trademarked sungold cuttings which can be grafted. This equals to about 6000 x $800,000 (per hectare for license) = $4,800,000,000 NZD worth of sungold license iirc. And we can't do anything about it because China could stop trades with NZ for kiwifruit and considering China is our biggest clients, it would impact us massively.

[@francoismurrell4604]

​​@@dawuid1491We have put in the work to breed unique variants of kiwifruit from the original Chinese Gooseberry. That makes them different fruit and means they can be trademarked, which I believe they are.

Growers didn’t need license to grow the green kiwifruit, but you need a license from Zespri to grow gold and red kiwifruit. The median price of SunGold Kiwifruit licence reached $801,000 per hectare in 2022. Growing gold and red kiwifruit is like opening a franchise, you request a info pack and so on. Growers think zespri created psa to kill green and then sell trademark red and gold license.

[@kiwigarden2024]

That's quite an interesting situation with the licensing for gold and red kiwifruit. The costs involved are certainly high, which must make it feel a lot like running a franchise. Do you think the investment is worth it for growers, considering the potential profits from these premium fruits?

Textbook example on why Monopolies are bad, they artificially constrict supply to drive up prices which hurt consumers and in this case farmers as well.

[@peter65zzfdfh]

Yes, though in the case of a specific fruit, it’s an optional purchase that can be substituted with other non monopolized options. The monopoly in this case is funding the research that takes decades and wouldn’t happen if anyone could just grow it when they’re done. So it’s a monopoly on something that wouldn’t exist without the monopoly. It’s not insulin. And the single exporter model is used by many countries so they don’t get growers undercutting each other for export and driving themselves out of business. The whole reason there are farmers of the fruit in NZ at all is because it can be profitable, but it’s not profitable without the monopoly for export.
