Earlier Report Observations

Israeli kiwifruit production showed consistent growth from 4 200 tons in 2018 to 8 702 tons in 2023, driven by ongoing research and development of new resistant varieties at the Northern R&D center. These efforts, aimed at acclimatizing kiwifruit to local conditions and combating climate change, enabled farmers to improve yields and fruit quality. The expansion of high-quality variety cultivation and the start of exports to Asian markets in 2021 provided additional incentives for production increases.

Climate challenges, including heatwaves that affected flowering in 2019 and 2022, temporarily constrained yields, but breeding programs and adaptation technologies allowed production to continue growing. In 2024, a heatwave led to a reported 15% yield drop, highlighting the sector's vulnerability to weather extremes. Despite these pressures, Israeli agriculture maintained supply through continued R&D and government support.

The total kiwifruit market volume in Israel expanded from 5 594 tons in 2018 to 10 374 tons in 2023, supported by rising domestic production and steady imports from New Zealand and Greece. Increased awareness of healthy eating and fresh fruit consumption contributed to stable local demand, while the Plant Council and fruit growers promoted the sector through quality improvements and origin labeling.
