Raisin Prices Move Higher as Tight Indian Supply Supports Market

June 28, 2026. The Indian raisin market has turned firm as limited domestic supplies and steady demand from traders continue to support prices. Lower production during the 2025–26 season, coupled with strong buying from processors and the dry fruit trade, has strengthened market sentiment. Although global supplies remain adequate, tighter availability in India is keeping domestic prices on the higher side. According to market sources, raisin prices have increased gradually over the past few weeks, particularly for premium AA grades. Traders in Maharashtra, India's largest raisin-producing state, report that farmers are releasing stocks cautiously in anticipation of better prices. As a result, market arrivals remain limited, preventing any major correction in prices. Wholesale prices of dry grapes (raisins) in Maharashtra mandis are currently hovering around ₹310–320 per kg, reflecting healthy demand from wholesalers, processors and retailers. Market participants say the current price trend is being driven more by limited availability than by any sudden increase in demand. The outlook for the Indian raisin crop also remains supportive. Industry estimates indicate that India's raisin production for the 2025–26 season may decline to around 1.60 lakh tonnes, compared with nearly 2.45 lakh tonnes in the previous season. Lower production has tightened supplies across the domestic market and encouraged stock holding by growers and traders. On the export front, Indian raisin exporters continue to face competition from Turkey, China and Afghanistan. However, Turkish raisin prices have also remained firm due to a smaller crop, reducing the pressure on Indian exporters. Stable demand from Europe and the Middle East has helped maintain export enquiries, although buyers are purchasing mainly according to immediate requirements. Market experts believe the southwest monsoon is unlikely to have any immediate impact on the current raisin market, as the grape harvest and drying season have already been completed. The focus is now on existing stocks and the pace at which growers release their produce into the market. Looking ahead, traders expect raisin prices to remain firm over the next few weeks. Limited domestic supplies, lower production and steady demand from the dry fruit industry are expected to support the market. Unless arrivals increase significantly or demand weakens sharply, the possibility of a major decline in prices appears limited.
