Recently, as a late maturing, seedless grape variety, Kronson grapes have gradually emerged in the market, winning widespread attention from growers and consumers for their unique taste, storage and transportation resistance, and good market prospects.
Karen grape, originally from California, USA, is another high-quality seedless grape variety introduced after the red grapes. In 1997, the grape variety project research group of the Ministry of Agriculture of China introduced it and conducted a four-year trial planting in China. After a comprehensive investigation of its growth status, fruit characteristics, and market prospects, experts unanimously believe that the Karen grape is a seedless grape variety with great development potential.
It is reported that the fruit of Kronson grapes is elliptical and slightly longer in shape, with a transparent color and bright fruit frost. Each grain weighs 6 to 8 grams, and the soluble solids content is as high as 20% -25%. The sugar acid ratio is moderate, and the taste is excellent. Its flesh is light red, crispy and can be sliced. It can be eaten fresh or dried. The skin is crispy and not easy to peel off, making it very resistant to storage and transportation. In addition, Karen grapes also have strong stress resistance and strong resistance to prevalent diseases such as downy mildew, white rot, anthracnose, and powdery mildew in China.
In terms of cultivation, Karen grapes have a wide adaptability and can be grown in mountainous, plain, and hilly areas. By optimizing the planting structure, improving fertilizer and water management, and strengthening pest control measures, growers have further increased the yield and quality of Karen grapes. According to growers, Karen grapes generally begin to mature in mid September and can be kept on the plant for 1-2 months after maturity. Harvested fruit clusters that are free from damage, pests, and diseases can be stored until New Year's Day and Spring Festival under natural conditions, meeting the market's demand for off-season fruits.
In the market, the performance of Kronson grapes is equally outstanding. Due to its unique taste and storage resistance, Kronson grapes have become a leader in the high-end fruit market. According to growers, Kronson grapes are very popular in the European and American markets, with prices typically reaching around $4 per kilogram, and this price has remained relatively stable. In China, Kronson grapes have also been favored by consumers, especially in first tier cities and large supermarkets. Although their prices are slightly higher than ordinary grape varieties, consumers generally believe that they are worth the money.
It is worth mentioning that the planting techniques of Kronson grapes are constantly being updated and improved. By adopting scientific pruning management, flower and fruit management, and pest control measures, growers have further improved the yield and quality of Karen grapes. At the same time, they actively explore diversified sales channels, such as online sales, live streaming sales, etc., to meet the needs of different consumers.
However, with the continuous expansion of the Kronson grape market, it also faces some challenges. Some growers have neglected quality management in pursuit of high yields, resulting in uneven quality of Creusen grapes in the market. In addition, with the further expansion of planting area, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Therefore, growers need to continue to strengthen quality management, improve market competitiveness, and ensure the sustainable and healthy development of Karen grapes.
In the future, with the increasing pursuit of healthy eating by consumers and the continuous development of the fruit market, the market prospects of Kronson grapes are generally optimistic. The growers will continue to strive to improve the quality and yield of Karen grapes to meet market demand and promote industrial development. At the same time, they will actively explore new sales channels and marketing methods to further expand the market share and influence of Kronson grapes.
