Australian table grape growers produced almost 200,000 tonnes of table grapes last year, with 70% grown for export to an increasing number of countries and the remaining 30% consumed domestically, according to the Australian Table Grape Association.

Asia is the main destination for Australian table grapes, especially China, representing 25% of the total imports into Asia, followed by Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam, representing all together 38% of table grapes imports.1

In fact, 26% of imported table grapes in China come from Australia.2

ALLISONTM: SNFL RISING STAR FOR CHINESE MARKET

AllisonTM is a very late season red variety with large crisp-flavoured berries. Its large size bunch and high productivity make it ideal for growers and consumers. Moreover, its very good condition after 6-10 weeks in storage trial has been recognised by Asian buyers, such as other varieties like TimpsonTM, MelodyTM or Great GreenTM, maintaining high quality during 21-28 days on the sea. AllisonTM is a very good alternative to Crimson.
