“This is a very robust variety which works well in the climatic conditions at this time of the year. Our customers were looking for Australian-grown grapes as consumers prefer the Australian-grown fruit,” said Francesca Wagner, Executive General Manager at Romeo’s Best. “We will start with Sweet Globe™ in mid-August.”

“We have had fantastic growing conditions this year, and so far, demand is exceeding supply.”
