2024 Greek Hayward Kiwi Season to Begin in Mid-Oct-24

The 2024 Hayward kiwi season in Greece is set to commence in mid-Oct-24, with anticipation building among farmers, packers, and exporters for what is expected to be a challenging period. Early forecasts suggest a substantial supply of various kiwi sizes, although concerns about the impact of prolonged summer heatwaves on fruit storage persist. The availability of Southern Hemisphere kiwis is dampening demand for early Greek shipments, with additional supplies expected from New Zealand, Europe, and other regions until mid-October. Greek exporters must navigate challenges, including avoiding premature exports, managing logistical bottlenecks in the Red Sea, and competing with recovering Italian kiwis in transatlantic markets.
