7.3.1 Table grape varieties yet to come into production<br />
Significant areas (1,670 hectares) of table grapes were non-bearing in 2014 <strong>and</strong> will come into<br />
production in 2015–2017. Figure 47 provides an indication of the tonnages (40,080 tonnes) that<br />
those areas will contribute to the annual crop as they reach full production.<br />
The largest area of non-bearing plantings in 2014 was Crimson Seedless which will contribute an<br />
estimated 20,760 tonnes in coming seasons; a 34% increase on 2014 production.<br />
Production from the 2014 non-bearing plantings represents a 24% increase on the estimated<br />
2014 production from bearing plantings (170,040 tonnes).<br />
