IDeA Agro, by means of the company Agro Gold Società Agricola Srl, has sponsored the “Progetto Kiwi Giallo”, which consists in the long-term leasing of approximately 100 hectares of land in the province of Latina (Lazio), which is the most suitable area in Italy for kiwi production. The objective is to convert these 100 hectares into a kiwi SunGold grove and merge it with an already established kiwi grove of 60 hectares. Agrintesa, the project’s operational partner, is one of the four Italian licensees of the Zespri consortium (owner of SunGold variety rights). Agrintesa, in addition to managing the packaging and distribution to Zespri, will be responsible for the day-to-day management of Agro Gold. The decision to invest in the production of SunGold yellow kiwi is driven by several elements including the fact that this variety allows for a higher yield and higher prices than traditional yellow kiwis.

The company has recently acquired approximately 380 hectares of land at the border between Lazio and Tuscany, most of which are potentially convertible into an olive grove. The project has been recommended by the Buccelletti family, which are industrial partners of the venture with a well-established experience in building and managing intensive olive oil plants, using a production model similar to the Spanish one. Due to the expected production of up to 400 tons of olive, the plant is amongst the most important in Central Italy, an area particularly suited for extra virgin olive oil production.
