With the cooperation of the German government develoPPP.de program, Don Limon seeks to improve growing techniques and quality of Indian grapes by the country's grape growers. Growers have improved the quality of grapes so much that Indian grapes are now finding a good market at this time of year in the European market, which is notoriously stringent when it comes to quality standards.
Quality and residues
“There was an article about low-quality fruit from India, but there is no issue with the quality of Indian grapes right now,” said Debjit Ghosh of Don Limon. “Within the government project field and packhouse management is trained to help producers and workers and offers feedback in order to improve quality, monitor residue levels and grow a product that can be shipped to Europe. We have monitored residue levels since last September with growers.” A part of the large emphasis on this was the misconception by European buyers that Indian grapes were covered with residues and quality was lacking. It's been tough to dispel those notions, but the hard work being done by growers, government and Don Limón is bearing positive results. In order to prove this, Debjit provided reports showing this.
