Table grape grower remaining upbeat with strong demand during COVID-19 affected season
While the widespread impacts COVID-19 has provided many challenges for a Victorian table grape grower over the past 12 months, he is still expecting an average crop for this season.
Guiseppe Cua from RJN Cua says production levels are similar to previous seasons, with no major events to report and weather for the harvest period has been favourable, after some early challenges. Compared to other seasons, crop levels are about average, he said. Growing conditions have been trying, especially in Victoria as we strongly believe we didn’t get enough sunshine degree days therefore fruit didn’t flush as well as it should. But on a plus side the weather throughout harvest has been dry and no early morning fog as of yet.
