4.4 Farm gate value of wine, table <strong>and</strong> dried grapes<br />
Figure 5 shows the change in farm gate value of wine, dried <strong>and</strong> table grapes from 1997 to 2014.<br />
(Values are summarised from Figure 23, Figure 37 <strong>and</strong> Figure 52 respectively.)<br />
Farm gate value ($/hectare) represents the gross return to growers be<strong>for</strong>e deducting costs of<br />
production. Costs of production are not considered in this analysis (<strong>and</strong> are not a part of the<br />
project brief), but they vary <strong>for</strong> wine, dried <strong>and</strong> table grape production <strong>and</strong> vary over time having<br />
a significant impact on net income. For instance, while farm gate value of table grapes is much<br />
higher than wine <strong>and</strong> dried grapes, table grapes have considerably higher production costs<br />
impacting on net income. In<strong>for</strong>mation on costs of production can be sourced from relevant<br />
industry groups.<br />
Farm gate value of wine grapes declined by 37%; from $11,300 per hectare in 1997 to $7,100 per<br />
hectare in 2014.<br />
Farm gate values of sultanas, sunmuscats, raisins <strong>and</strong> currants increased between 1997 <strong>and</strong> 2014,<br />
with a 66% increase overall <strong>for</strong> dried grapes.<br />
Farm gate value of white table grapes decreased in the same period by 17%, but red <strong>and</strong> black<br />
table grapes increased by 31% <strong>and</strong> 88% respectively.<br />
