Malaika

Double cropper

Malaika stands out as a revolutionary raspberry variety, balancing premium fruit quality with an unparalleled shelf life, complimented by a rich flavour profile. Excelling as a double cropper, it offers early to mid-season Primocane fruit, surpassing other varieties like Kwanza® in manageability and predictability.

Characterized by vigorous growth and an open structure, Malaika produces robust laterals, enhancing picking speed and overall productivity, solidifying its position as a market frontrunner. 


Its fruits are impressively large, feature a bright orange-red colour, and maintain a conical shape without darkening post-harvest. Malaika reaches mid-pick production within 16 to 18 weeks after planting, affirming its status as the unrivaled choice for growers seeking excellence in raspberry cultivation.
