There is a need to diversify the uses of grapes. Currently more than 80 percent of the produce is used for table purposes. The major bulk of the produce is harvested in March-April, but as cold storage facilities are currently inadequate there are frequent market gluts. Diversification of uses as wine/juice and export of table grapes can ease the marketing problems. Maintenance of quality of table grapes by crop regulation is the priority consideration to increase exports. For the survival of the grape industry in India, the produce should be quality and cost competitive. Future efforts are to be concentrated in this direction.
