Grapes Product Details

Table grapes are a high-value fresh fruit category with complex, multi-origin sourcing programmes that stretch across the calendar year. Exporters in this category ship seeded and seedless grape varieties—such as Crimson, Thompson, Autumn Royal and proprietary lines—to supermarket programmes, wholesale markets and distributors around the world. Buyers manage variety windows, colour mix and promotional timing to keep grapes on shelves over extended seasons.

Grape specifications focus on bunch presentation, berry size, colour, brix, firmness, stem condition and limits on defects such as decay, shattered berries or sunburn. Exporters operate advanced packhouses with pre-cooling, forced-air cooling and sulphur-pad management where appropriate, and they pack grapes in punnets, bags or loose cartons according to customer specifications. Many suppliers hold GlobalGAP, BRC, IFS and other certifications, as well as retailer-specific approvals.

The logistics of grape exports depend on precise cold-chain control to protect berries from dehydration and decay. Exporters coordinate harvest schedules, packing, cold storage, reefer loading and shipment planning, and they provide full documentation including phytosanitary certificates, residue analyses and origin certificates. For buyers operating across multiple importing countries, working with exporters who understand differing market standards is a key advantage.
