Hazel Technologies, Inc. has announced a successful trial on California-grown table grapes, in conjunction with Oppy and Brar Farms.

A visit was recently made to the current facilities of a cold storage plant in the Pabellon sector in Tierra Amarilla, which will be refurbished to carry out quality control work.

The General Manager of Peru's Table Grape Growers' Association, Alejandro Cabrera Cigarán said the industry would ship a minimum of 70 million boxes in the 2022-23 season, up from 64.8 million boxes in the previous season.

“This year, unfortunately we have had half the sizing we saw last season. We’ve never come across a similar situation,” said AALPUM managing director Juan Alberto Laborin.

South Africa's table grape industry body also said that the increased supply of Peruvian and Chilean grapes remains a "threat" to the country's exports.

The logistics crisis and its consequences have continued to impact the fruit sector, and Spain is no exception. The Iberian country, which exports approximately 60 percent of its total production of table grapes, has experienced an increase in production costs which is set to impact the upcoming season.

Supplies were falling across the board in the world's three biggest regional markets, where pricing saw a mixed picture.

CEO & President David Marguleas and EVP Chief Science Officer Jennifer Petersen talk about the center’s role, through its technology and innovation, in the company’s transformation from a vertically integrated farming company to an IP and genetics company.

Peru’s Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism, Roberto Sánchez highlighted Peru’s excellent performance in table grape exports over the last couple of years and especially, in the first few months of this year.

Despite a rough start to the table grape season, the USDA report found exports had recovered in April and onward.
