    A Chinese court's ordered hundreds of hectares of kiwifruit plants to be ripped out - in a landmark intellectual property ruling

    23 October 2025
    New Zealand marketer Zespri filed an infringement case in 2023, over the unauthorised production, sale, and marketing of Gold3 kiwifruit.

    A Wuhan court has awarded Zespri nearly 1.3-million dollars compensation and ordered the crops destroyed.

    Chief Executive Jason Te Brake says China has about seven-thousand hectares of unauthorised plantations.

    He says they're monitoring worldwide, but China is the main area of concern.
