Yield (tonnes/hectare) 6.2 Dried grape production 1997 to 2014 The Murray Valley accounts for 98% of National dried grape production. Figure 31 shows production (dried tonnes) for the Murray Valley based on aggregated data from Horticulture Australia, made available by Dried Fruits Australia.

Yields have, in general, increased since 1997 with the average yield in 2013 40% (1.5 tonnes/ha) higher than in 1997. The 2013 yields are approximate as they are based on 2013 tonnages and 2014 hectares. 2014 tonnages were unavailable at the time of the analysis.

Figure 33 provides an indication of the tonnages that those plantings will contribute to annual crops as they reach full production. The projected tonnage from 2014 bearing plantings (18,007 dried tonnes) has been calculated using the 2013 average yields from Figure 32. And as 2013 yields are calculated using 2014 hectares, tonnages for 2013 and 2014 are the same. The projected tonnage from 2014 non-bearing plantings (1,936 tonnes) has been calculated using the highest 2013 average yield from Figure 32 (8.8 tonnes/ha) as new plantings and new varieties (e.g. Sunglo) are yielding much higher than district averages. The projected production from 2014 non-bearing plantings (1,936 tonnes) represents an 11% increase on the estimated 2014 production from bearing plantings (18,007 tonnes).
