“It was impactful to start the import grape deal from Peru much earlier”
The import season for table grapes has had a unique start as shipments from Peru to North America started about six weeks earlier than usual. “This is in part due to the rain and the effects of Hurricane Hilary on the California grape season,” says Antonio Escobar with Divine Flavor. Peru also encountered some inclement weather which caused high humidity in certain growing regions.
