The arrival of plenty of grapes at the wholesale market has brought down its retail price. Now, the grape is available between Rs 30 to Rs 50 per kg in retail. Traders say the season of grapes is moving towards its peak. Though this year, the arrival of grapes was a little due to unseasonal rainfall in its growing areas in October-November.
At present, around 50 to 60 vehicles laden with grapes are arriving in the market. According to the APMC Vashi administration, around 820 tons of grapes arrived in the market on Monday which is a good supply. Even the retail price is between Rs 30 and Rs 50 per kg. The grapes have been arriving from Nashik, Baramati, and Solapur. “The fruit will be available till mid-April,” said a trader from APMC.
