Working with CropX has been a great step for us at KWKIWI. Their innovation and our orchards together are shaping what future-focused kiwifruit growing can look like.

🚀 Cultivating Innovation for the Kiwifruit Industry

We’re proud to announce our partnership with KW KIWI pioneers in sustainable kiwifruit farming in New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty since 1980.

From living lab orchards to smart soil and fruit solutions, KWKIWI is all about future-focused farming. That’s why they’ve teamed up with CropX, the complete digital agronomy platform.

KWKIWI uses the Evato Actual ET sensor and Vertex soil moisture sensor, and offers expert advice and product access. They work closely with Julian, our Sales & Business Development Manager in NZ, to help growers get the most out of CropX technology.

Biodiversity in the orchard

Healthy orchards aren’t just about the vines — they’re also home to a variety of wildlife.

From beneficial insects to native birds like this ruru (morepork), every species plays a role in the ecosystem.

By looking after the land, we create an environment where crops and nature can thrive side by side.

KWKIWI × Aerobotics | Bringing TrueFruit™ to the Orchard

We’re proud to announce our partnership with Aerobotics, launching the TrueFruit™ non-destructive fruit sizing tool for the kiwifruit industry.

Growing through knowledge and measurement 🥝

At KWKIWI, experience in the orchard is backed by careful observation and the use technology that’s gives us real-time data. From soil moisture to crop load and fruit sizing, we gather information throughout the season to help guide our decisions.

It’s a practical approach, giving us the ability to fine tune our growing practices, that supports healthy vines, quality fruit, and long-term care for the land.
