Sweeties are gaining larger market share
From a longer-term perspective, Matthias Eggemann from Fresh-Connection is quite positive about the future of overseas grapes. “There are a lot of new varieties being bred and tested, whether in Latin America, South Africa or India. Some of these, such as ARRA 29 or ARRA Passion Fire™, as well as ARRA 33 or ARRA Honey Pop™, have recently been able to establish themselves, and ARD 35 and ARD 36 will also be introduced to the market soon. ARRA 15 or ARRA Sweeties are also gaining larger market shares, as they are particularly high-yielding and therefore especially economical. In general, the trend in global cultivation is moving towards new, currently popular grape varieties, which are being placed on the market via selected importers. In India, the market-standard Thomson Seedless is already increasingly being replaced by new varieties, such as ARRA Sweeties.”
