The market conditions of Sunshine Rose grapes improved despite the outbreak of Covid-19 and its impact on the Chinese grape market. The price increased by 10%-20% in comparison with last year. The main production areas of Sunshine Rose grapes are in Yunnan. This region has certain advantages for grapes. First, Yunnan grapes enter the market earlier than grapes from other production ares. This gives them distinct opportunities in the Chinese grape market. Second, the overall surface area devoted to Sunshine Rose grapes is limited and the supply volume is stable. Third, the vineyards are well established and managed with years of experience. This yields a high quality grape. All of these factors combine to give Sunshine Rose grapes an excellent market prospect.

The overall surface area devoted to the plantation of Sunshine Rose grapes expanded in the last two years. Although weather conditions reduced the production volume per hectare in some production areas, the overall production volume still increased. Add to this the stability of management, and the result is a strong market position for Sunshine Rose grapes. The price has steadily been rising.

"We mainly grow our grapes in Yunnan, Zhejiang, Shanxi, Shandong, and Hebei. Our supply season begins every year in May and continues until October. The main grape variety in our assortment is the high-quality Sunshine Rose grape, but we also grow other varieties such as the Kyoho grape, Summer Black grape, and Rose Fragrance grape.
However, the production volume of these varieties is rather small. None of these varieties have the same flavor as Sunshine Rose grapes, and they do not survive storage as well. That is why the Sunshine Rose grape is the best economic choice." This is according to Mr. Li Jianqi of Qindgao Chang Chun Teng Crop Science and technology Co., Ltd.

"Many production areas throughout China suffered from extreme weather conditions this year, most notably heavy frost in April. Many agricultural crops were damaged as a result. Sunshine Rose grapes did not escape either. The production volume declined by 20%. Furthermore, the product quality declined because of hot and humid weather. The grape stems softened and the grapes easily fell to the ground."

The Sunshine Rose grapes have a distinct flavor that is very popular with Chinese consumers. The economic value of these grapes is great. That is why the overall surface area devoted to the plantation of this grape variety has gradually grown in the last few years.
However, many new farmers do not possess the appropriate plantation technology. Many of them simply pursue quantity instead of quality. "Many farmers use chemical fertilizer, which has an enormous impact on the product quality of grapes. This in turn lowers the price. Only when farmers improve their level of technology and apply organic fertilizer to reduce the impact of fertilizer will they be able to produce top-quality grapes. We rely on the high quality of our grapes to establish a strong brand with an excellent reputation in the Chinese grape market. That is how we are able to stand out among our competitors."
