An Victorian table grape farmer is pleased with the market entry for the grape to Japan However, he is unsure whether this development came just a bit too in the past.

In the past, Australia has been limited to exporting just three types of table grapes in Japan and Japan, which led to a substantial price losses, but the restrictions on varietals have been removed.

“It was a great day for Australia in July of this year when Japan declared the introduction of a new variety of table grapes including the three varieties that are allowed. This has been expanded for the entire Vitis vinifera (grapes),” Budou Farms co-owner Enrique Rossi said. “However when you look at the figures several years ago Australia was shipping about 775 containers, and then it went into declining numbers, where in the in the last year, there were around the 230 containers. The volume of containers coming of containers coming from Japan amounts to about 1500 containers that are from within the Southern Hemisphere. Since last year, Peru was also included and the process starts before Australia and Chile In this way, being said, is it going to succeed?”

It is estimated that the Federal Government estimates that the increased access to variety will increase to around $30 million before increasing to $50 million in the next several years. However, Mr Rossi declares that farmers are going require that their product is of high quality to stay at the top of their game.

“With an assortment of more than 100 different varieties originating from Australia and available for purchase over a period that is about 20 weeks, we are able to offer up to four varieties each week,” Mr. Rossi declared. “Most likely to be divided into with black, red and green. Things like exchange, economy and arrival conditions are important to be successful in the market. Hence, it could be that this opening comes just nine years old.”

Budou Farms is based in Merbein South in Western Victoria, and is focused on exporting into Asian markets. The bulk of the product going to Japan.

The most popular variety that is that is grown is Crimson however, Mr. Rossi states that new varieties were planted recently at a lesser scale and a brand new juice was launched too.

“Budou Farms is expected to continue growing in the Japanese market because of our marketing strategy and the flavor profile of every variety,” he said. “But we know this will make it harder to be competitive. Our brand is established that is recognized by both customers and, most importantly, the consumers. In the same manner of being, we’re looking to expand our business into new markets throughout Asia which share the same outlook in regards to sustainability as well as flavour We are referred to as “So Sweet.”.”

Although at present Japan is its principal source of revenue, Vietnam has been growing in recent years. The table grape harvest in Budou begins with the peak in December.
