Apr 01, 2022

According to the data provided by the state agriculture department, before the conflict started, over 15,000 metric tonne (MT) grapes were exported to Russia and Ukraine. The total export from Nashik to European nations last season was 1.26 lakh MT, including over 17,600 MT to these two countries.
The overall trend of Nashik grape export this season continues to be robust as over 98,000 MT have been exported so far to other European nations, including 48,000 MT to the Netherlands, 9,000 MT to the United Kingdom, 8,000 MT to Germany.
 
Kailas Shirsat, deputy director of the district agriculture department, said that the grape export to Russia has been affected by around 2,500 MT so far due to the war.
 
'The exports to the other European Nations have picked up. We are expecting the grape export to cross last year’s figures,' said Shirsat.
 
Manik Patil, director, Grape Exporters’ Association of India, said grape exports have speeded up and there is no impact of war between Russia and Ukraine. In fact, the grape export to European countries has now gathered momentum.
 
'Exports will be on in full swing for the next eight days and will continue till April 15. Around 3,000 containers with 36,000 MT grapes are expected to be exported in three weeks. Grape exporters are fetching comparatively better rates between Rs 55 and Rs 75 per kg,' he added.
 
In the 2021 grape season, Nashik district had exported 1.26 lakh metric tonne.
