2. A Thompson seedless grape is a variety that is pale
green to yellow in color. This fruit has no seeds and
tastes rather sweet. These grapes are not normally
very large, and are usually fairly uniform in size.
Thompson seedless grapes are often used to make
raisins. These fruits usually grow in large bunches.

3. World Market
"The world market for table
grapes is 4.4 million metric tons
(MT), representing US$8.5 billion -
11% of this market is consumed
by China and Hong Kong, which
are increasing their share every
year,"
Table grapes are among the most
popular fruits in European
consumption
With a value of 1.4 billion euros
table grapes have the highest
import value after bananas. The
import volume has gradually
increased from 602,000 tonnes in
2015 to 694,000 tonnes in 2019

5. European imports of table grapes (from non-
European suppliers)

6. The Netherlands: Good start for Egyptian
and Italian grapes after difficult overseas
season
The prices for Egyptian grapes are
quite high
Traditionally, the first grapes are sold for
expensive prices because there are no
grapes with seeds available on the market.
If the supply increases, the price will also
fall somewhat to an acceptable level.
The Indian season has now ended and the
Egyptian and Italian campaigns have just
begun.
Egypt is expanding its
potential market in Europe
(Germany, the UK, the
Netherlands and Poland),
Malaysia, Hong Kong, China,
Kenya and Sudan. The prices
for Egyptian grapes were high
in Europe.

8. Germany: More paperwork due to
different varieties
Grapes are now available all year round in the
German market and there are no longer any clear
seasonal periods. Overseas grapes from
countries like India, South Africa, Australia and
Argentina are available with good quality 12
months a year.
With regard to the varieties, current market trends
show a preference for seedless grapes: “The
consumer prefers seedless grapes, even though
grapes with seeds are often healthier. In any case,
if we offer a very good Italian grape with seeds, it is
generally accepted by the buyer.”
“In Germany, white grapes are very
popular and their sales continue to
grow. The ideal table grape is
golden yellow, seedless and sweet
in taste. "These quality requirements
seem more important with grapes
than with other products."
From the total import volume of 310,000
tonnes in 2019, 287,000 tonnes stayed in
the country This makes Germany the
largest European market for fresh grapes.
Whereas the United Kingdom imports
directly from countries such as South
Africa and Chile, Germany mainly sources
its grapes from Italy and through logistical
hubs such as the Netherlands. Germany’s
consumption peaks during the European
season.

9. Spain: First shipment of grapes to
China and Vietnam
The grape season has already
started in Murcia (the most
important producing region in
Spain) with the harvest of the
early varieties in Mazarron and
Aguilas. These will be followed by
ones from the Guadalentín Valley,
Cieza and finally Yecla and Puerto
Lumbreras. The market
conditions are currently good
thanks to a delay in the shipment
of Egyptian grapes, Egypt will
compete with Spain for a while,
and then Italian grapes will also
arrive on the market.
Grape types and varieties
Tempranillo. Tempranillo is the
best known quality Red Wine
Grape in Spain.
Garnacha (Grenache) A grape
of Spanish origin despite most
people associate it with ...
Bobal. Found mainly in
Valencia, Bobal wines are full
bodied and colourful.
Monastrell. It is the typical
grape of Murcia and the south
of Valencia.

10. China: More Chinese grapes on the
domestic market
The marketing of grapes is also becoming
increasingly important in China. Yunnan is an
important growing area in China and not many
growers are familiar with the marketing. That is
why the Chinese government has launched
more initiatives this year to set up a brand for
them, and other trading companies are also
taking the initiative to help these growers.
A lot of Australian grapes were
imported and sold at a good price
at the start of the year

11. United States: High demand expected
for Californian grapes
California-based growers expect a
high demand for grapes as soon as
the harvest starts. The demand for
grapes is also expected to grow in
July, as the fruit will be marketed
fresh. This is partly due to the
disappointing production of cherries,
blueberries and strawberries in
California this year. Grape prices are
currently not that high, as the supply
is also high due to the supply coming
from Mexico. "The consumer will pay
a similar price for better quality," says
the trader.

12. Peru’s exports of table grapes to China.
Overall Peru’s table grape exports increased 5.5% from 270,000
tons to 285,000 tons over the last two seasons.
