Over 1 lakh tonne grapes exported from Nashik.
Apr 18, 2022

Despite the Russia-Ukraine war and the unseasonal rainfall affecting the grapes, the Nashik district has crossed the grape export mark of 1.12 lakh metric tonnes so far.
 
The district has exported 92,000 tonne of grapes to European countries and the remaining 20,000 tonne to non-European countries. According to the data provided by the state agriculture department, before the conflict started, around 15,000 tonne of grapes were exported to Russia and Ukraine. The total exports in the two countries were over 17,600 tonne last season, which has now declined by 2,600 tonne due to the war.
 
However, the overall trend of Nashik grape exports this season continues to be robust as 60,000 tonne has been exported to the Netherlands, 11,000 tonne to the United Kingdom, 9,000 tonne to Germany etc.
 
Manik Patil, the director of Grape Exporters' Association of India (GEAI), said, there has been a robust grape export to the European nations this season.
 
The grape export season will continue for the next 10 days, and around 12,000 MT more grapes are likely to be exported to European countries. We will cross the last year's grape export figures, said Manik Patil.
 
Last year, the Nashik district exported around 1.20 lakh MT of grapes.
