As the fall table grapes season is underway and as the International Fresh Produce Association’s annual show is coming, The Packer talked with Divine Flavor’s quality assurance and public relations manager, Michael DuPuis, on the international table grape situation.
He reports the table grape season, particularly from its international suppliers, has been mixed. On the one hand, there have been better yields in some growing regions and good supplies of consumer-favorite varieties. For example, during last season, he noted Peru saw “nearly a 48% increase in production compared to last year.”
