Wholesale Grape Suppliers
The global table grape market is worth approximately $67.8 billion annually. California (San Joaquin Valley) is the USA's dominant table grape production region, supplying Thompson Seedless, Crimson, Autumn Royal, and specialty varieties from July to November. Year-round US buyers supplement domestic supply with Chilean and South African imports during November–April. USDA AMS grade standards govern fresh grape quality for domestic and import trade.

Table grapes and wine grapes are distinct commercial categories with different variety requirements, production practices, and buyer profiles. Table grapes are selected for seedlessness (Thompson Seedless/Crimson/Arra), large berry size (≥18 mm diameter for Class I), Brix ≥16°, uniform bunch weight (300–500 g per bunch), firm texture for transit, and visual appeal. Wine grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Shiraz) are selected for sugar/acid balance, skin phenolics, and aromatic character. Wholesale buyers in the fresh produce trade source table grapes; wineries source wine grapes through entirely separate agricultural supply chains. IQF frozen grapes (seedless Thompson and Crimson) represent a growing third category primarily used by smoothie manufacturers and food service.
