Market Minute: Heavy supply of table grapes ideal for promotion

There is a steady amount of table grapes coming out of Chile and Peru. The quality, size and flavor are outstanding. The market is very favorable to run promotions for the next several weeks.

Chile and Peru are currently supplying high-quality, large table grapes suited for U.S. supermarkets. Peru’s peak lasts through March, while Chile’s continues into early May.

Both countries do an excellent job growing some of the finest grapes during their seasons. They produce premium-quality large-sized grapes that easily fit the standards of retail produce departments.

Now is a great time for grape promotions. Set up eye-catching displays using original grape cartons to build a waterfall-type display, which will add a massive presentation. Stack only two bags high to prevent damage and shrink.

Coordinate with your supplier for an effective ad campaign to increase sales.
