Canada will require listing sulfur dioxide on food labels in the list of ingredients for fresh table grapes.

Chilean exporters and authorities expected to have the protocol approved for the 2023-24 season, but an issue related with the Free Trade Agreement between Chile and the EU is holding it back.

The main destination for Peruvian table grapes was the United States, accounting for 46% of the total share, with a little over 29 million boxes received. 

Cyclon Yaku in early March 2023 caused damages estimated at $630 million in the northern region of Peru, with strong winds and rain for weeks which lowered table grape production volumes by 30%. 

The United States is anticipated to absorb approximately 57% of Chilean supplies, equivalent to around 35 million boxes.

Despite the head start in Coquimbo, harvests in the Valparaíso, Metropolitan and O’Higgins regions were much later due, in part, to a colder spring.

Sun World gathered evidence of unlicensed grapes by drone surveillance and found unauthorized plantations of Sugrathirtyfive, Sugranineteen, Sugrathirteen and Sugraone.

The East Coast will receive approximately 15 million of those boxes, and the West Coast 5 million.

Volume to date is up 18% year-on-year. In all, South Africa expects to export 75.8 million cartons this season.
