Indian Raisin Prices Rise on Tight Supply and Festive Demand

Oct.03, 2026. Indian raisin prices are moving higher as tighter 2025/26 supply and stronger festive demand support the market. With the crop already harvested and dried, traders are mainly relying on cold-storage stocks, while higher storage and financing costs are adding to price pressure. New Delhi FOB prices for golden AA raisins are at €2.58/kg, up from €2.55/kg previously. Brown AA has increased to €1.99/kg from €1.97/kg, while black AA is at €1.95/kg, compared with €1.92/kg earlier. India’s 2025/26 raisin production is estimated at around 160,000 tonnes, down sharply from about 245,000 tonnes in 2024/25. The smaller crop is tightening availability as domestic buyers increase purchases ahead of the October festive and wedding season. Latest wholesale data also show firm prices in key producing markets. On October 1, Tasgaon APMC reported a modal raisin price of ₹31,100/quintal (₹311/kg), while Sangli APMC was at ₹29,300/quintal. Total raisin arrivals reported across three markets were about 1,614.6 tonnes that day. Sangli remains a major centre for India’s raisin trade, with Tasgaon serving as an important wholesale market. Raisins are commonly graded and placed in cold storage before being released according to domestic and export demand. India also remains active in international trade. In marketing year 2024/25, India imported around 29,974 tonnes of raisins while exporting approximately 39,862 tonnes, highlighting the importance of both domestic production and cross-border supply to the Indian market. Domestic demand from sweet manufacturers, bakeries and confectionery producers is expected to remain supportive through the festive period. Export demand from the Middle East and South Asia is also adding to buying interest. Traders are closely watching cold-storage stock movement and the pace of festive buying. Buyers remain cautious at higher prices, but limited 2025/26 supply is keeping sellers firm.
