Kō wai mātou? Who are we?

Zespri is more than simply the world’s single-largest marketer of kiwifruit. We like to think of ourselves as fruit on a mission and as rebels with a cause: to help people, communities and the environment around the world thrive through the goodness of kiwifruit. We are proudly the world’s largest marketer of kiwifruit, selling kiwifruit in more than 50 countries. We work with around 2,800 New Zealand and 1,500 international growers and post-harvest companies to source the best-quality Zespri Kiwifruit which we supply through our distribution partners to wholesale and retail customers. We are one of New Zealand’s best-known international brands, dedicated to creating sustainable long-term value for growers.

• Champion Continuous Improvement: Enhance our reporting and analytics capabilities, especially with SAP SAC, and contribute to global projects that shape the future of financial planning at Zespri.
• Drive Strategic Analysis: Support long-term planning and deliver ad hoc analysis that informs commercial decisions and business growth.
