Horticulture trade intelligence: Table grape: 217: Content / Quarterly highlights / Competitor insights / Trade flow / Operating environment / Market overview / Appendix Quarterly highlights: Summary China remains the key destination for table grapes exports Table grapes export volume declined by 34% y-o-y in 217 due to the delayed harvest season in Australia. Volume exports saw a weaker performance in all key export destinations, except China. On average, over 212-216, exports in accounted for 55% by volume and 77% by value of total annual exports. The Australian table grapes industry exports approximately 6% of its total produce, with the remaining 4% consumed domestically. China accounted for 43% of volume exports of table grapes from Australia. Volume exports to Hong Kong decreased by 56% y-o-y in 217as Australian exports to China bypassed the territory. Australia faces tough competition from Chile and Peru in its key export destinations, primarily China and Hong Kong. South Africa is another prominent competitor exporting to key Australian destinations. The US is the only country which exported to Australia in. Imports in the first quarter generally remain low as the growing season starts in November, peaks in February and March and ends in June.

Horticulture trade intelligence: Table grape: 217: Content / Quarterly highlights / Competitor insights / Trade flow / Operating environment / Market overview / Appendix Key trends: Consumers and business dynamics Health and wellness spurs consumption of fruit in major export markets Hong Kong: Consumption of fruit is influenced by rising healthconsciousness In 216, total per capita consumer expenditure was AUD43,717 and per capita consumer expenditure on fruit stood at AUD425, which is among the highest in the Asia Pacific, supported by rising health-consciousness amongst local consumers. In the Index of Economic Freedom 216 by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal, Hong Kong achieved the top rank globally, which is illustrative of a highly favourable regulatory environment. Japan: Health and wellness remains an important consideration amongst consumers Japan stood second amongst Asia-Pacific countries in the World Economic Forum s Networked Readiness Index Ranking (NRR) in 216, benefitting from the upgrading of its ICT infrastructure, and a continuous focus on innovation. Japan is traditionally a very health-conscious country. In 216, total per capita consumer expenditure was AUD29,789 and per capita consumer expenditure on fruit stood at AUD233. Indonesia: Increased investment in infrastructure is expected to boost logistics Indonesia developed a nine-pillar economic strategy, Nawa Cita, launched in 214. It envisions increasing productivity and competitiveness through investment in infrastructure, which includes construction and maintenance of roads to increase connectivity within the country and improve logistics. Health-conscious consumers are demanding healthier food in restaurants and other food service establishments in Indonesia. In 216, total per capita consumer expenditure was AUD2,838 and total per capita consumer expenditure on fruit stood at AUD73. China: Consumption of fruit benefits from rising consumer purchasing power Consumer expenditure on fruit increased by a CAGR of 11% over 211-216, to reach an estimated AUD167 billion in 216, supported by rising disposable incomes. This increase was driven by the rise in the middle class, which accounted for 23% of all households in 216, and the convenience of e-retailing of fruits. In 216, total per capita consumer expenditure was AUD4,398 and per capita consumer expenditure on fruits stood at AUD126. Modern retailers such as supermarkets and hypermarkets accounted for 36% of fresh food retail sales, increasing by a CAGR of 1% over 211-216. Thailand: Consumption of fresh food to bridge nutritional gap in diet Owing to a high obesity rate of 32%, an ageing population and other factors, the government continued its efforts to promote healthy living. The restriction of TV airtime for advertisement campaigns for products with a high sugar content, and improved labelling on packaged food products, were two of these initiatives. In 216, total per capita expenditure was AUD4,779 and per capita consumer expenditure on fruit stood AUD14. Thailand is moderately free economy and has witnessed progress in its Economic Freedom ranking by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal over 211-217, primarily owing to a strengthened regulatory framework.
