The first container of Italian kiwis left for Mexico

The first container of ORIGIN GROUP kiwifruit, destined for Mexico, left the port of Genoa.

 

 

 

"This is our first shipment of first quality kiwis for this new overseas market, open this season to Italian products - said the CEO of ORIGINE GROUP, Alessandro Zampagna-. This is a new step in our mission to develop markets abroad, where we want to sell our best fruits. ”

 

 

 

"The Italian kiwi season started positively - adds Zampagna - despite the low production this year. Last season, we exported more than 2,000 tonnes of Italian kiwi fruit, a volume that we hope to increase considerably this year. ”

 

 

 

In addition to Asia and Europe, ORIGINE GROUP, which has brought together major fruit companies from Italy and Chile, is penetrating the markets of the American continent.

 

 

 

"After this first year, where the main objective is to create commercial relationships with Mexican customers, we hope to grow in the future in a market capable of absorbing large volumes," says Zampagna.
