Why Celebrate the Renaming of the Kiwifruit?
The kiwifruit, originally known as the Chinese gooseberry, was renamed 65 years ago to reflect its unique New Zealand identity. This rebranding was a significant moment in our horticultural history, leading to the global recognition of the kiwifruit as a symbol of New Zealand’s agricultural excellence. Celebrating this renaming honors our history, our community, and the ongoing success of the kiwifruit industry.
