The coming months are filled with exciting events that Grapa is hosting, sponsoring or participating in. We wanted to give you a head’s up so that you’ll know exactly where and when you can meet your favourite ARRA people and grapes!

The August ARRA Field Days are right around the corner… If you haven’t done so yet, contact us at grapa@grapaes.com to register.

Grapa is proudly sponsoring

In collaboration with Grapa, Grapasa, the territorial representative for the ARRA™ varieties and Early Sweet™ in South America, will be exhibiting at the 1st International Table Grape Congress held by the Association of Table Grape Producers of Peru (PROVID). The event will take place in the city of Ica, between August 23 and 24, 2023. Grapa is proud to be a sponsor of this novel event, where we will be showcasing the new generation of ARRA varieties, with a special focus on ARRA Fire Crunch™. This striking variety has drawn much attention in Peru as a very promising red variety, suitable for the growing conditions in the region. For more details contact Karl Conrads.

It’s been quite a while since the table grape industry has gathered for this influential international symposium. This year, between 26 November and 1 December, the 10th ITGS will be held in South Africa. Grapa and TopFruit (the exclusive territorial agent for the commercialization of the ARRA™ varieties and Early Sweet™ in Southern Africa) will be sponsoring this peak event. Following the symposium, the attendees will have the opportunity to participate in focused field tours. These will include visits to ARRA commercial blocks, as well as a visit to the TopFruit test block, where the attendees will have a chance to see all that the ARRA programme in South Africa has to offer, including the newest ARRA varieties. Additionally, we will meet the international ARRA varieties’ growers and partners for a festive dinner during the event.

Like every year, we can’t wait to meet our friends and partners in this year’s edition of Fruit Attraction, Madrid, just as the season nears its end in the Northern Hemisphere, and right before the season starts in the Southern Hemisphere. Grapa and AVI invite you to join us at our stand to discuss and enjoy the ARRA varieties’ grapes that will be presented from near and far.
