Export decline of around 20 per cent for Brazilian grapes

The first overseas grapes from Brazil arrived at Port International in week 42. The Hamburg-based company sources the majority from its Exclusive Partner Farm GVS. “In general, we at Port International have a similar amount of goods available as in previous years, but we are seeing a decline in exports of around 20 per cent compared to 2021 and 2022, when export volumes were at a similar level,” explains Malte Storjohann, Import Manager Overseas Products at the company, when asked by Fresh Plaza Magazine.
