Summary:
Normally, exports to European markets start by January and continue till mid-April. Maharashtra is all set to touch a record-high export of grapes to the European Union and Russia. The long dry and extended winter has ensured more availability and more produce for export markets. Other than European markets, Indian grapes also reach the shelves of markets in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and other countries. European markets are much sought after by grape exporters due to the better prices there..
