Leading Grapes Exporters in India

Why Are Grapes Export From India Profitable?

Being the second-largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world and the high demand for grapes in European markets make India's grape exports profitable.

European markets have a strong demand for Indian grapes, and during the 2023–24 season, exports rose by over 10%.

Because our grape variety is less expensive, more people are purchasing it. White grapes are the main export from India. Although colored grapes are more in demand abroad, India does not grow this type of grape.

Due to high demand from its primary market, Europe, India's fresh grape exports are predicted to increase by more than a tenth in the 2023–24 season. Despite the fact that freight costs have more than doubled to the region due to disruptions in the Red Sea region, shipments have increased.

As per grapes export data, India exported 2.67 lakh metric tons of grapes valued at $313.69 million during 2022–23. Nearly 40% of all shipments of Indian grapes go to the Netherlands, making it the largest buyer.
