AU: Table grapes totalled by weather and disease
Yields were light in the three main growing regions of Emerald, St George and Mundubbera.
St George table grape grower Richard Lomman says all season they've battled everything from crop diseases to the weather. "Probably a year where anything that could go wrong it did this year," he says. "We had some cool weather, we had some rain and things started to go pear shaped, the fruit didn't sugar up and everyone was late. "Consumers probably weren't buying as much as they normally would."
