\nGujarat has orchards in 4.33 lakh hectares. But there are no vineyards in Gujarat. Such an announcement has been made by the central government. The vineyards in the country produce 30 lakh tonnes of grapes in 1.40 lakh hectares. 2 lakh tonnes of grapes are used in Gujarat.

All grapes are procured from farmers in Nashik, Maharashtra produces 80% of the country’s grapes. About 70% of the country’s grapes are grown in Nashik. Which the people of Gujarat eat more.
\nIndia is one of the ten grape producers in the world. The plantation area is growing very fast. Progress has been made in the cultivation of grapes in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi and western Uttar Pradesh in the last three decades. But not in Gujarat. There is already good cultivation in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n
Gujarat has more orchards than Uttar Pradesh. Yet there are only scattered vineyards.

\nMost of the grapes are exported
