Grapes are grown in more than 150 countries, and 105 million tonnes of fruit are produced each year. The production of grapes is a long process of three different stages – the vegetative stage, the flowering stage, and the fruiting stage.
Climate: Grapevines thrive in temperate climates with well-defined seasons, including warm summers and cold winters.
Soil: Well-drained soil is crucial. Grapevines prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.0-7.0).
Land Preparation: The land is cleared of weeds and debris. Soil is often tested and amended with organic matter or nutrients as needed. Soil is then tilled to improve drainage and aeration.
Variety Selection: Choose grape varieties based on climate, soil type, and market demand. Common varieties for export include table grapes like Thompson Seedless and Crimson Seedless.
Planting: Grapevines are typically planted during the dormant season (fall or early spring). Planting involves spacing vines adequately (usually 6-8 feet apart) to allow for growth and air circulation.
Trellising Systems: Grapevines need support, which is provided by trellising systems. Common systems include vertical shoot positioning (VSP) and Geneva Double Curtain (GDC).
Training: Vines are trained to grow along the trellis to optimize sunlight exposure and airflow. Training methods vary depending on the system used.
Watering: Grapevines require regular watering, especially during dry periods. Drip irrigation is commonly used to provide consistent moisture.
Fertilizing: Grapevines are fed with fertilizers to ensure healthy growth and fruit development. The type and amount of fertilizer depend on soil fertility and vine needs.
Pruning: Pruning is essential for managing vine growth and improving fruit quality. It is typically done during the dormant season. Pruning helps in controlling the number of grape clusters and improving air circulation.
Pest and Disease Management: Regular monitoring for pests (e.g., grapevine moths) and diseases (e.g., powdery mildew) is crucial. Integrated pest management (IPM) practices are used to control and prevent issues.
Flowering and Fruiting: Grapevines flower in late spring to early summer. Pollination is typically wind-assisted or done by insects.
Berry Growth: After flowering, berries develop and grow. They undergo veraison, where they start changing color and ripening.
Timing: Grapes are harvested when they reach the desired sugar content (brix level), acidity, and flavor profile. This timing varies depending on the grape variety and intended market.
Methods: Harvesting is often done by hand to avoid damaging the delicate fruit, though mechanical harvesters are used in some regions. Grapes are carefully cut from the vine and placed into containers.
Sorting and Cleaning: Grapes are sorted to remove any damaged or unripe fruit. They are also cleaned to remove any dirt or debris.
Cooling: Grapes are cooled quickly to preserve freshness and extend shelf life. This is usually done using refrigerated rooms or cooling tunnels.
Packaging: Grapes are packed in containers designed for export, such as clamshells or cartons. Packaging must protect the grapes and ensure they remain in good condition during transit.
Inspection: Grapes are inspected for quality and compliance with export standards. This includes checking for size, color, and any signs of disease or damage.
Certification: In many cases, grapes must meet specific phytosanitary and quality certifications required by importing countries.
Documentation: Necessary export documentation is prepared, including certificates of origin, phytosanitary certificates, and any required customs forms.
Transport: Grapes are transported to their destination using refrigerated shipping methods (such as containers with temperature control) to maintain freshness.
Distribution: Upon arrival, grapes are distributed to various markets and retailers.
Our certifications include Global GAP, GRASP, BRC and SMETA
More than the taste, grapes which are also known as 'Vitis vinifera' are natural antioxidants and a great source of resveratrol which protects from stress; and has anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory properties. Table grapes have a lower sugar content than wine grapes.
