Annual production estimate
(tonnes)
7.2 Table grape production from 1997 to 2014
Table grape production (tonnes) has been estimated based on an average yield of 20 kg per vine
from 1,200 vines/ha. Only the bearing plantings (hectares) from Figure 43 have been used in the
calculation.
The greatest increase in production between 1997 and 2014 was in mid- to late-season red grape
varieties, equating to an estimated 59,534 tonnes of additional fruit as new plantings have come
into production (Figure 45). There has been a significant decrease in mid-season white varieties
equating to an estimated reduction of 22,817 tonnes between 1997 and 2014.
