BOLOGNA, Italy, Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

As part of the China Forum organized in MacFrut, the companies involved in the 
project The European Art of Taste had the opportunity to present themselves to 
the Asian market with a webinar that saw the participation of 111 Chinese 
companies and professionals and buyers in the fruit and vegetable sector.

Federico Milanese, Marketing Manager, presented Jingold, one of the most 
important kiwifruit companies all over the world. Jingold's strength lies 
precisely in varietal research and in the continuous improvement of its 
production processes. The extension and spread of crops in both hemispheres in 
fact guarantees differentiated production (green, yellow and red) and 
availability throughout the year.

Born in 2001 as the exclusive licensee of Jintao, Jingold today counts on the 
production of 800 farmers all over the world, with a total extension that, for 
the yellow kiwifruit (Jintao and Jryan), is 1500 ha in Europe and 500 ha in the 
rest of world including South America and China, for a total of 20,000 tons. 

The production of green kiwifruit (Hayward and Boerica) is of 50,000 tons. The 
red kiwifruit, winner of the Fruit Logistica Innovation Award 2019 for its 
tropical taste and a longer shelf life, has a production area of 100 ha.

Jingold has focused on China by increasing the extension up to 800 ha and 
launching the GoodWave brand.  "Increasing production in China," said Federico 
Milanese, "is one of our main objectives for three reasons: proximity to our 
consumers, increasing availability in Asia and reducing the climate impact by 
reducing distances. This is also demonstrated by the launch of GoodWave, the 
Shanghai-based brand dedicated to the Asian market which has shown continuous 
growth in terms of sales and appreciation for quality."

Jingold is one of the world's kiwifruit specialist, guaranteeing excellence in 
terms of taste, quality and food safety through sustainable production 
processes and innovative strategies that allow the well-being of producers and 
the good health of consumers.

The European Art of Taste project will continue to promote the masterpieces of 
nature and art throughout 2021, involving consumers, journalists and 
professionals in incoming, in-store events and fairs, in partnership with 
European Union and the companies Apofruit, Origine Group, Jingold, King Fruit 
and RK Growers.
