Grapes

  1. Introduction

Grapes (Vitis vinifera) are one of the most widely cultivated fruit crops in the world, valued for their taste, nutritional benefits, and versatility. They are consumed fresh (table grapes), processed into raisins, juices, jams, and used extensively in winemaking. For export and import businesses, grapes represent a high-demand commodity with a competitive global market, especially from countries like India, Chile, USA, Italy, Spain, South Africa, and Turkey.
