The volume of dried grapes to exported to New Zealand is decreasing due to the high logistics costs

New Zealand is one of the biggest markets for Turkish dried grapes. However, from the start of the new season in September 2021 to the end of January, New Zealand's import of dried grapes decreased 16% to USD 2.354 thousand. The main reason for the decrease is the high logistic costs, as New Zealand is looking for alternatives for Chile and China despite the overall lower quality of the products compared to Turkish dried grapes.
