Grape

Grape is one of the most important fruit world over which is grown in an area of 7.4 Million Hectares globally. Out of the total grape grown across the world, more than 55% is used for the purpose of making wine. Though Grape is grown across the world except in Africa, more than 50% of the total acreages falls under Spain, China, France, Italy and Turkey. Grape in India is grown for both export as well as domestic consumption. However, more than 90% of Indian grape is used for table purpose. India’s productivity at ~15 MT per hectare is much higher than the average global grape productivity (~10 MT per hectare). Grape cultivation remains one of the most lucrative and remunerative option for Indian farmers.

Problems Faced By Farmers

Like other premium fruit crops, fruit quality of grapes is as important as its quantity if not more. Any reduction in the fruit quality directly leads to the reduction in the market value of the produce and the entire purpose of growing the crop gets defeated. And hence, a grape grower not only has to ensure the prophylactic management of diseases but an effcient nutrition schedule also for optimal fruit quality
