Mexico Table Grapes Spring Summit - San Diego, California

Luis Arancibia Molina, ARRA Agronomist at Grapasa, was invited to take part at the Mexico Table Grapes Spring Summit 2024 in San Diego, California. The event has brought those in the Mexican grape industry together to talk about the challenges, opportunities, and future of table grapes, globally and in Mexico. The day included presentations by some of the leading experts in the Mexican table grape market.

Luis described it as an excellent experience and highlighted the valuable opportunity to engage with Mexican producers. He noted the producers enthusiasm for exploring new grape varieties to address the future challenges in Mexico and the opportunities the ARRA Varieties offer as an answer.

The ARRA Varieties were proud to be event sponsors, and Luis had the privilege to deliver a presentation, discussing several key points: Luis emphasized the global presence of the ARRA™ Varieties, licensed in 34 countries across 6 continents, and successfully adapting to diverse climatic conditions. The growing recognition and global demand are expanding the reach of ARRA varieties into new regions. Luis highlighted the distinct advantages of the ARRA Program, including the earliest trio of white, red, and black varieties in the world. Moreover, Luis emphasized the varieties’ tolerance and adaptability, as many ARRA varieties exhibit remarkable rain tolerance and thrive in various climates. They are known for short production cycles, enabling early harvests and economic efficiency. Furthermore, Luis explained about their environmental sustainability and ease of cultivation, while still achieving high yields and good post-harvest life.
