The specter of the bacterial disease PSA(v) which has loomed over the Kiwifruit sector since 2011 is diminishing. Although now 2,496 orchards harbor the disease, which comprise 81% of the total Kiwifruit area production is on the increase again. Exports are estimated to reach 345,000 metric tons in calendar year (CY) 2014, eight percent above CY2013. From CY2015 on to CY2018 exports are set to boom up to somewhere between 414,000MT and 475,000MT thanks to the new Gold variety “G3” which will occupy 35% of the total orchard area in the near future.
