Kiwifruit aren't shipped by air. They are picked in winter and naturally slowly ripen after harvest. This makes it possible to store then under refrigeration for months and ship them thousands of miles. As a fruit grown in the open air , they do not have a big carbon impact compared to much locally grown produce from heated glasshouses.

Some other fruit will also ripen off the tree, for example avocado and cherimoya will only begin to ripen after you pick it. For these fruit its very natural (its the only way)to ripen off the tree. Some fruit like grapes will not increase in sugar after picking but may dehydrate to a raisin increasing in its sugar to weight ratio.
