March 22, 2022 | By Fruitnet.com
The international table grape industry came together on 17 March for the online Global Grape Congress, streamed live in two separate parts from Melbourne and London.
Focusing on the Asian market, the first part included discussions on India, Australia's export growth, South African promotions on the Chinese market and Korea's retail sector
Nitin Agrawal of India's Euro Fruits stated that the domestic market was a big untapped opportunity for the Indian table grape industry.
'We see a huge change in the coming years in the domestic market, which will favour branded grapes,' he said. 'India's grape industry lacks new varieties. It will take some time for them to come in – partly due to industry fragmentation. But we expect this to improve in the coming years, providing premium opportunities.'
