Tridge summary

The Australian Deciduous Fruit Annual Report by the USDA anticipates a significant increase in table grape production for the 2024/25 season, reaching 230,000 tons, which would be the second highest on record. This surge is attributed to favorable growing conditions and a focus on grape varieties preferred by export markets, especially China. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and erratic weather conditions have resulted in fluctuating production levels since 2010. The 2024/25 season is expected to see a decrease in fresh grape exports by 10.7%, but the quality and high demand, especially from China, will likely limit domestic supply. The report also highlights Australia's competitive advantage in exporting grapes to China due to its proximity and proprietary varieties, as Chile's export share to China has significantly dropped in recent years.

Suitable growing conditions may also be conducive to the high quality of grapes this season, thereby increasing the supply suitable for export markets. It is expected that the increase in yield and quality will bring exports to 135,000 tons in the 2024/25 season, making it the third highest on record. Since 2010, Australia's table grape industry has experienced rapid growth. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and rainy weather conditions in spring and harvest season have affected the yield and quality of grapes, interrupting the ...
