Kiwi Gains Ground in Brazil

Kiwi cultivation in Brazil, mainly in the Southern region, faces challenges related to unstable weather and high rainfall during the ripening period. These factors require planning and the adoption of practices that ensure the quality and productivity of the fruit. "The unstable climate and higher incidence of rain in producing areas – especially in the Southern region – during fruit ripening, impose extra challenges on farmers, requiring redoubled care to avoid losses and ensure crop quality," comments Bruno Nolasco, business manager at Belgo Arames. Among the adopted solutions, the use of support systems with high-resistance wires stands out. This structure ensures proper support for branches and fruits, improves sun exposure, favors ventilation, and contributes to disease reduction. Choosing wires with corrosion-resistant coating is also essential, as climate and agricultural inputs can accelerate structure deterioration. With specific technologies for fruit growing, which ...
