Grapes Export from India

India is a significant producer and exporter of fresh grapes. Grapes exporters in India export several high-quality varieties to countries across the globe. With increasing demand for fresh, juicy, and flavorful table grapes, Indian grape exports continue to expand rapidly.

Here are some of the major grape varieties exported from India:

Thompson Seedless —  One of the most widely exported varieties, Thompson Seedless grapes are small, green, and sweet with a mild flavor. These grapes grow in large bunches and are popular for both fresh consumption and raisin production.

Perlette —  Perlette grapes are white with thin skin and crisp, juicy flesh. Similar to Thompson Seedless, Perlette grapes are more tolerant of varied climatic conditions, making them suitable for a wider growing range.

Anab-e-Shahi —  Anab-e-Shahi is a high-yielding, late-maturing variety known for its large, elongated, seeded grapes. It is primarily cultivated in Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, and Karnataka and adapts well to diverse agro-climatic zones.

Black Hamburg —  Black Hamburg grapes are deep red to purple and are known for their rich flavor and large bunches. This seeded variety is popular for fresh consumption and is one of the easiest to cultivate.

Pusa Seedless —  Developed from the Thompson Seedless variety, Pusa Seedless grapes are longer in shape and suitable for both table use and raisin production. It was recommended for commercial cultivation in 1976.

Gulabi —  Native to Tamil Nadu, Gulabi grapes are small, spherical, seeded, and deep purple in color. Known for their good shelf life, these grapes are mostly consumed fresh. Average yield ranges between 10 to 12 tons per hectare.
