For more than a decade, private grape breeding programs have been releasing proprietary varieties and changing the face of the table grape industry. Andy Higgins, CEO of IFG, one of the leading privately-funded grape breeding programs, believes that trend will continue and consumers will start buying fresh grapes by variety, just as they do with fresh apples.

Sun World International LLC. has added a Canadian importer Star Produce to its panel of licensed importers. Their appointment brings the company’s panel of licensed importers to 11 licensees, further expanding the supply and distribution of Sun World’s proprietary grape varieties throughout North America and Canada.

Grapes are sweet, healthy, and refreshing, which makes them a perfect fruit for spring and summer, consumers can look forward to a robust supply of high-quality grapes from Top Brass this year.
