Regional income ($ million)
6.5 Crop value of dried grapes 1997 to 2014
6.5.1 Regional income from dried grapes
Crop values provide an indication of the (potential) contribution to regional or National income
from annual production of a crop.
Crop value of Murray Valley dried grape fruit has been calculated from:
Bearing hectares from SunRISE mapping as per Figure 29
98% of National dried fruit intake as per Figure 32, and
Weighted average prices as per Figure 34
Crop value $ = area bearing (ha) × average yield (tonnes/ha) × average price ($/tonne)
Average yields in 2013 were used to estimate 2014 crop values.
