About Kiva
Kiva is a lemon brand that Limoneira Company says it acquired through acquisitions, alongside Kachina, Oxnard Lemon and Trapani Fresh, and does not date or locate. Beyond that the annual report gives it no history, so nothing further is claimed here. It matters mainly because it shows that Limoneira's lemon packing carries several labels from businesses it has bought, in addition to the Limoneira-bred names such as Bridal Veil and Golden Bowl.
How often Limoneira names Kiva in its annual report
A plain count of the times the name appears in the text of each annual report, not counting the start of a sentence. A brand that an owner writes about more is usually one it treats as central.
