The Chilean kiwifruit industry is undergoing transformation, renewing orchard planting, and focusing on improving the quality of supply. The quality of kiwi fruit is not only affected by various factors in the growth process, but also by the processing methods after picking. One of the most important links is the sorting of kiwi fruit. It is very important to choose the right and appropriate sorting machine for kiwi fruit.
According to the latest report of the 2021 season released by the Chilean Kiwifruit Committee, the production of Chilean kiwifruit has fallen this season. In the context of the strong demand for vitamin C-rich fruits, coupled with the problem of low stocks in the northern hemisphere supplier countries, the demand for kiwifruit in the southern hemisphere, including Chile, has risen this season.
The report said: "Although the number of fruits on the market has decreased this season, the mild summer has made the soluble solids and dry matter content of the fruits high, ensuring a very good storage capacity and prolonging the supply period."
According to the IQonsulting report, Chilean kiwifruit exports to mainland China and Hong Kong have undergone significant changes in the past three years, from a historic 21355 tons in 2019 to 9,700 tons in 2020, and an estimated 7,500 tons this year. This is due to the ongoing transformation of the Chilean kiwi fruit industry, renewing the cultivation of orchards and focusing on improving the quality of supply.
