The new raisin arrivals have commenced in Sangli, Tasgaon market of Maharashtra. In a procession of 8-10 vehicles, these raisins grace the market, presenting a delicate quality reflected in their price.

Unseasonal Rains Dim the Grape Harvest

Nature’s unexpected rain in December played a discordant note on the grape crop. As a consequence, the grape quality suffered, impacting the raisin production. Reports indicate a likely decrease in raisin production compared to the previous year.

Fluctuating Raisin Production Trends

Contrary to the upward trajectory in raisin production over the last two years, a different script evolved in the current year. In 2021, Maharashtra’s raisin production stood at 14-15 thousand units. The following year, a surge brought it to 18-20 thousand vehicles (each carrying 10 tons). The climax reached in 2023 with an estimated production of 24-25 thousand vehicles. However, a plot twist awaits in 2024, anticipating a dip to 18-20 thousand vehicles.

Future Predictions Of Raisins

Market soothsayers predict a stagnation in raisin prices for the current month. The arrival of lighter-quality raisins dominates the markets of the producing centers. A forecasted upswing hinges on the horizon, with the promise of better-quality raisins making their debut in March.

Conclusion

In the current raisin production scene, new harvests join nature’s challenges. Light, delicate quality marks initial arrivals, hinting at superior raisins in March. In conclusion, the arrival of new raisins signals a delicate beginning amidst Maharashtra’s markets. Unforeseen rains in December cast a shadow over grape harvests, impacting raisin production. Despite prior upward trends, 2024 anticipates a decline. Market forecasts hint at stagnant prices, with hope pinned on March’s promise of superior-quality raisins.
