SAVE THE DATE – CILT Breakfast hosted by Zespri

Join us for a special CILT Breakfast hosted by Zespri International Limited, the world’s largest marketer of kiwifruit and one of New Zealand’s most globally recognised horticultural success stories.

Zespri supplies premium-quality kiwifruit to more than 50 countries, partnering with 2,800 New Zealand growers and 1,500 international growers and post-harvest operators to deliver a year-round portfolio of trusted branded products. Born from the challenges of the 1980s—when oversupply, economic pressures, and low returns threatened grower viability—New Zealand kiwifruit growers united to create Zespri in 1997 with a simple belief: we can do better together.

Today, Zespri retains the exclusive rights to export New Zealand kiwifruit to markets (excluding Australia) and has become a benchmark for collaboration, quality assurance, and sustainable value creation across global supply chains. Their commitment goes far beyond commercial success: Zespri’s purpose is to help people, communities, and the environment thrive through the goodness of kiwifruit.

At this breakfast session, attendees will hear insights into Zespri’s unique grower-owned model and global supply network.

This is an excellent opportunity for CILT members and partners to connect over breakfast and gain inside perspectives on one of New Zealand’s most influential primary industry exporters.

Don’t miss this chance to learn how Zespri continues to innovate and lead across global logistics, transport, and supply chain management.
