Zespri has revealed that an agreement with Turners & Growers, which sees it sell a limited volume of T&G’s Enza Gold variety kiwifruit in selected markets in Asia, is progressing well, Fruitnet reports.
T&G chief executive Geoff Hipkins told media that the co-operation from Zespri had been “fantastic”, and that the group had even been allowed to sell some Enza Gold in the US and parts of Europe.
“We can work together,” he added.
