Average grower prices for all grapes shipped fresh have tailed off in the last few years, dropping from $548 a ton in 1980 to $421 a ton in 1983. The price decline from 1982 to 1983 went from $442 per ton to $421 per ton. Lower prices have probably contributed to the success the fresh sector has had in marketing its product. CALIFORNIA RAISIN SHIPMENTS 1973 to 1982 Crop Year Natural Condition (Sweatbox) Basis 1,000 Tons U.S RAISIN WINE V. 250 Thousands Source: Economic Research Department, Wine Institute, Raisin Administrative Committee. 39-936 O - 85 - 7 U.S. wine exports fell for second consecutive year In 1983 United States wine exports fell for the second consecutive year, decreasing 16.4%. The 1982 decline was 14.0%. Prior to 1982, U.S. commercial wine exports had grown steadily for a decade, increasing from a modest 377.8 thousand gallons in 1971 to a peak of 10.6 million gallons in 1981. Canada, the leading export customer for U.S. wines with a market share of 47.9%, imported 835.7 thousand fewer gallons in 1983 than in 1982. Total U.S. wine shipments to Canada amounted to 3.6 million gallons, a drop of 18.7% from the previous year. The United Kingdom ranks second as a market for U.S. wines, and in 1983 was the only other country to import more than 1 million gallons. The U.S. ship ped 1.2 million gallons of wine to the United Kingdom in each of the last two years. Since 1975, U.S. wine sales to the U.K. have climbed from an insignificant 7,268 gallons to their present level. During 1982 eight countries imported over 200,000 gallons of U.S. wine; in 1983 only 5 nations could make this claim. In addition to Canada and the United Kingdom, other countries which imported more than 200,000 gallons of U.S. wine in 1983, and the percent change from 1982, are: Japan, 415,859 gallons and +49.5%; Bahamas, 231,841 gallons and -7.6%; and Belgium and Luxembourg, 217,848 gallons and -3.3%. While U.S. wine exports to most countries are bottled, Canada receives most of its wine in bulk. Because of this, the per gallon value (F.A.S. basis) for U.S. wine exports to Canada in 1983 was $2.28 compared to $6.01 for all other countries. The dollar value of U.S. wine sales to Canada represented 25.8 percent of total dollar value from U.S. wine sales to all countries, but in terms of gallonage Canada's 1983 market share for U.S. wine exports was 47.9%. The average values per gallon in 1983 for other key U.S. markets were: United Kingdom, $5.81; Japan, $6.00; Bahamas, $4.71; and Belgium and Luxembourg, $6.82. The average value per gallon for all U.S. commercial wine exports in 1983 was $4.22, almost the same as the 1982 average value of $4.20. The total value of U.S. wine exports declined 16%, from $38.2 million in 1982 to $32.1 million in 1983. Since during the same time period the value of foreign wine shipped to the U.S. rose $71.8 million to $853.7 million, the wine trade deficit grew to $821.6 million in 1983. The trade deficit for wine has enlarged in each of the past five years, and last year was 34.8% greater than the 1979 deficit. The ratio of wine imports to exports, on both a gallonage basis and a value basis, increased in favor of imports. On a gallonage basis the ratio was 17.2 to 1, while on a value basis it was 26.6 to 1. While a breakdown of wine exports by state is not available, it is reasonable to assume that about 95% of U.S. commercial wine exports are from California.⚫ "Excludes shipments such as shipments to Puerto Rico, shipments to Virgin islands and other U.S. possessions, shipments abroad to US armed forces for their use, to US armed forces post exchanges and to commissaries maintained for use of US government personnel, and shipments for use of vessels and arplanes engaged in foreign trade "Does not include any adjustment for wine re-exported to other countries includes Curacao, Aruba, Bonaire Sabe.
