Indian Raisin Prices Climb on Severe Crop Shortage

Indian Raisin Prices Climb on Severe Crop Shortage

Indian Raisin Prices Stay High As Demand Stays High

Indian Raisin prices have surged sharply this season, driven by a steep decline in production—now down more than 50% compared to last year. In key growing regions such as Sangli, Tasgaon, Miraj, and Kadegaon in Maharashtra, growers report major harvest losses. One industry insider estimates that production has dropped from around 24,000 carts last year to just 16,000 carts this season.

Tight supplies and steady demand have pushed wholesale prices up by USD 1,00–1,25 per kg within a week. Retailers are also raising prices, as costs rise throughout the supply chain. Importing raisins from international markets has offered little relief, with prices abroad also running high.

Approximate Wholesale Prices

With fresh arrivals limited, traders expect prices to rise further if demand stays strong. Some stockists are now holding back supplies, anticipating better rates in the weeks ahead. Meanwhile, processors and exporters are struggling to meet contract volumes, adding more pressure to an already tight market.

Final Words For Raisin Market Corn Export

Looking ahead, most market watchers expect prices to remain firm for the rest of the year. The combination of reduced supply, strong domestic and export demand, and farmers waiting to sell is creating a bullish setup. Businesses that rely on raisins may need to adjust for tighter margins, while growers could see extended benefits—provided market momentum continues and weather conditions cooperate.
