Contribution to regional<br />

income ($ million)<br />

7.5 Crop value of table grapes 1997 to 2014<br />

Crop value provides an indication of the (potential) annual contribution to regional or National<br />

income from annual production of a crop.<br />

Crop value of Murray Valley table grapes was calculated from:<br />

The area (hectares) of bearing table grape plantings from SunRISE mapping (Figure 43)<br />

Assuming an average table grape yield of 24,000 kilograms/hectare (20 kg/vine <strong>and</strong> 1,200<br />

vines/ha), <strong>and</strong><br />

<br />

Average prices ($/kilogram) in the Melbourne <strong>and</strong> Sydney markets. The market price<br />

applied to each variety is based on the approximate month it is harvested (assuming it is<br />

sent directly to the market)<br />

Crop value $ = area bearing (ha) × average yield (kilograms/ha) × average price ($/kilogram)<br />

Farm gate value ($/hectare) of table grape production has also been calculated (Figure 52). Farm<br />

gate value represents the gross return to growers be<strong>for</strong>e deducting costs of production. Costs of<br />

production are not considered in this analysis (<strong>and</strong> are not part of the project brief), but they vary<br />

over time <strong>and</strong> have a significant impact on net income. In<strong>for</strong>mation on production costs can be<br />

sourced from relevant industry groups.<br />
