There are many species of actinidia family. excep=t a.chinensis and a. deliciosa have great meaning actinidia arguta and close to it species.
Several countries involv it to large scale production.In Czech Republic is sold in supermarket MAKRO in months aprel and may packets of fruit coming from australia and from chile.Poland is begining to set plantages.
In France they started several farms, but company which bought fruit from farmers gave them so small price, that it was lose,so they destroyed farm and finished. TThis sample show, what the mate demands. :Watering, konstreuctions, much of hand work. Important thing is not to sell it to great companies which continues selling, but to create own shop with delekateses or to sell production to health food or superfood shops for price, which is created by grower.
I personaly believe, that soon will be possible to bring to large scale also best sorts of Actinidia kolomikta, especialy sort Vitakola.see photo.
