Kiwi fruit Production by Country (2026)

Drawing on 2018-2024 FAO records and forward 2026 estimates across 27 territories, this kiwi fruit production by country review maps the world kiwi fruit production landscape. China and New Zealand lead as the largest kiwi fruit producers, while Italy's rebound reshapes the European tier.

China Holds Nearly Half of the Latest Reported Output

The 2024 table is not a confirmed 2026 ranking; it is the latest reported production base used beside the forecast column. That distinction matters because the 2026 estimates adjust recent levels instead of replacing the FAO history.

The geographic spread shows Asia-Pacific dominance in kiwi fruit output, with the full country ranking below.

New Zealand Is Stable While Italy Swings

New Zealand's series stayed within a fairly narrow upper range after 2020, moving from 700,000 tonnes in 2021 to 667,792 tonnes in 2024. That makes its 2026 estimate more conservative than a simple last-year extension, at 641,872 tonnes. Italy shows a rougher path. It fell to 391,100 tonnes in 2023 after 523,120 tonnes in 2022, then recovered to 463,910 tonnes in 2024, so the 2026 estimate lands at 488,076 tonnes rather than treating either 2023 or 2024 as the whole story.

Greece, Iran, and Chile Add the Main Regional Depth

Greece increased from 265,280 tonnes in 2018 to 342,330 tonnes in 2024, giving Europe another large kiwi fruit base beyond Italy. Iran was steadier, staying close to 295,000 tonnes through most of the 2018-2024 period. Chile moved sharply higher in the latest row, from 155,800 tonnes in 2023 to 194,664 tonnes in 2024. Türkiye also stayed well above its 2018 level, rising from 61,920 tonnes to 92,249 tonnes over the period.

Missing 2024 Coverage Is Small but Still Kept

Most listed producers have a 2024 value, but Bulgaria appears only through 2023 in this source file. It is kept in the historical table with a blank 2024 cell, rather than being silently removed. The missing Bulgaria row does not change the main ranking because its latest reported value was 250 tonnes in 2023. It does matter for data hygiene, especially on a crop where several smaller producers report only a few hundred tonnes.

2026 Forecasts Keep China First and Italy in Recovery Mode

The 2026 estimates keep China far ahead at about 2,156,532 tonnes, with New Zealand second at 641,872 tonnes. Italy is projected at 488,076 tonnes, reflecting its 2024 rebound after the weaker 2023 row. Greece is estimated at 346,013 tonnes, while Iran remains close to its recent level at 295,051 tonnes. Chile's 2026 estimate, 194,861 tonnes, stays near its 2024 result because the model avoids pushing a one-year gain too far.
