Kiwi Pollen has achieved KVH Approved Pollen Producer status today. An independant audit by Quality Assure found Kiwi Pollen's operations adhere to the KVH Pollen Standard and Guideline, having robust systems and traceability. This ensures the risk of supplying pollen from a Psa-V infected orchard is minimised.

The purpose of the KVH Pollen Standard and Guideline is to:

• provide guidelines by which all involved in artificial pollination of kiwifruit orchards can reduce the risk of Psa-V transfer through use of artificial pollination,
• a standard against which pollen facilities can be audited to assure that collection and handling of pollen is adequately managed to reduce the risk of Psa-V transfer through use of artificial pollination.
