Kiwi fruit / The global spread of food

Kiwi fruit has been known in China for thousands of years, but was first brought to New Zealand in 1904, where it was improved and grown on large plantations. Kiwi fruit began to be exported to Europe and the Americas in the latter half of the 20th century. Still considered exotic in the 1980s, it has since become a popular, everyday fruit and is now cultivated around the world. Alongside green kiwi fruit, other varieties have now been developed.
