The grape season has begun with the arrivals of grapes in Nashik, the grapewine capital of India. The grapes, which have still not reached Nashik Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC), are being purchased by fruits trading firms directly at their vineyards at the rate of Rs. 55-60 a kg.

Last year, the arrival of grapes had begun on October 15 in Nashik APMC, with wholesale rate of Rs. 43 per kg. Although, grapes have still not reached Nashik APMC even after a month as compared to last year, some fruits trading firms have started procuring grapes directly from the grape-growers at their vineyards for the last week.

The regular arrival of grapes in Nashik markets is expected to begin by the first week of December 2008.
