Roughly April to July, the last major thing to leave Chile in a normal year. Harvest runs into the Southern Hemisphere autumn and shipping continues from storage past it.

Because kiwis store, the window is a commercial decision rather than a harvest one. Ask when the seller intends to ship rather than when the fruit was picked.

Last reviewed August 2026. Editorial ranges for a normal year, not a published schedule. Weather moves them, sometimes by weeks.
