GROWING GRAPES IN A TROPICAL COUNTRY

To successfully grow grapes in a tropical country, one must use the dry periods of each year or manipulate the weather by means of irrigation and cover.

Growing grapes in the tropics is a lucrative investment for growers.

The first harvest can be expected as early as 14 months after planting.

There is a possibility of two to three harvests per year, depending on cultivar and location.

The yield per hectare, per harvest is 15 to 30 tons depending on the variety.

With new resistant varieties and rootstock cultivars, it is possible to produce premium fruit which will reach a high market value.

The harvest of grapes can be timed at any time of the year, giving the grower the opportunity of selling grapes when there are times of high market demand internationally.

Grapes are a very versatile product.

From fresh fruit to wine, juice, raisins, oils, vinegar, to many more value added possibilities, opportunities abound.

The grapevine is a hardy plant that easily reaches more than 100 years of age with the right care.

At Mountain Creek Vineyard, we are dedicated to growing only premium produce, and we are leading the way for our clients with our extensive experience in tropical viticulture.
