But we are just at the beginning of July

Italy: “Demand for table grapes higher than supply”

“The commercial trend of the product is excellent. Table grapes are in big demand all over Europe. However, demand is higher than supply. At the moment, just in a few cases grapes have the right sugar content to make them suitable for sale and appreciated by consumers," said Vincenzo Lupo from Grottaglie, Apulia.



"We are only at the beginning of July, though.”



“Prices of table grapes are in line with those of last year due to the high quality and the huge demand.”




“As far as the producing cycle is concerned, the weather had a positive influence on earlier vineyards whereas high temperatures affected the size of grapes that bloomed later.”



Apulian table grapes and in particular those in Grottaglie are characterized by the size of grapes, their fair colour - straw-yellow - and their crunchiness.



“These features set us apart from the competition with foreign products,” Vincenzo concludes.
