"The exportable grapes production is expected to go up this year. Nashik, which supplies around 80% grapes, has 55,000 hectares area under cultivation. Of this, area registered for exports this year is 33,000 hectares, compared with 27,000 hectares last year.
"We have also seen an increase in the number of farmers approaching us for farm advisory in cultivating exportable grapes," said Ashok Sharma, president and CEO of the Agri Business vertical of Mahindra & Mahindra.
Though the onset of a full-fledged season has been delayed by two to three weeks due to the snowfall in Europe and the onset of winter in the growing state of Maharashtra, the country has already shipped 47 containers to Europe by January 12.
The number of grape orchards registered under Grapenet has more than doubled to 19,801 2016-17 from 18,327 in 2015-16. Only those farmers, who have registered their orchards under the traceability system of Grapenet, are eligible to export grapes to Europe.
A good monsoon and excellent weather conditions are going to yield a bumper harvest of grapes. ■ What to read next
