The rainfall over recent weeks, from October to November 2024, has reignited concerns among producers in the São Francisco Valley, one of Brazil’s key regions for table grape cultivation. The above-average precipitation for the season has caused delays in harvesting and logistical challenges, impacting supply to both domestic and export markets.
Despite the region’s privileged location and advanced agricultural techniques, which enable high-quality production year-round, the increased soil moisture and the direct effects on more sensitive varieties, such as seedless white grapes, require additional care. “We are facing a scenario that demands adaptations to preserve fruit quality and meet our commitments to clients,” explains the technical team at ARA AGRÍCOLA, a leading producer in the region.
With a strong focus on sustainability and innovation, the company reaffirms its commitment to mitigating the effects of these climatic conditions while maintaining the high standards of quality expected by domestic and international markets.
