Grapes take a leading role in the market as summer turns to autumn. As Jufeng grapes gradually near the end of their season, Green Globes from various production areas begin to enter the market. The retail price of sweet, seedless, strong Green Globes from Xinjiang even dropped to 7 yuan [1.05 USD], which is even lower than the price of Jufeng grapes. However, the product variety is diverse this year and the price differences are significant. Some top-quality varieties even sell for as much as 200 yuan [29.90 USD] per 0.5kg.
Jufeng grapes are currently in the final stages of the season, while Green Globes are just starting. The price of Green Globes is much lower this year than it was in previous years. The main reason for this development is that Green Globes are not only produced in Xinjiang, but also in Shandong, Yunnan, etc. The domestically produced Globe grapes are more durable than other grape varieties, which makes them more suited for transport and storage. It also means that the supply season is longer. In addition, the surface area devoted to Green Globe vineyards increased in the last few years, which means that the price is relatively low everywhere.
