The global reputation of Australian grapes export
When it comes to premium fresh fruit, Australian grapes export has earned an outstanding reputation across global retail markets. From Asia to the Middle East and Europe, importers consistently turn to Australian growers for their quality, consistency and freshness.
At Lazzara Fruits, our family-run vineyard in Robinvale, Victoria supplies domestic and international markets with premium Australian table grapes (both seeded and seedless grapes) — grown, packed and exported under strict quality standards.
Family owned, hands-on quality control
One of the biggest reasons buyers trust Australian grapes export is the hands-on, family-operated approach behind many of the country’s vineyards.
At Lazzara Fruits, the business is proudly owned and operated by Joe and Frances Lazzara alongside their four sons. Together, they oversee:
- Growing
- Packing
- Marketing
- Quality control
This close involvement across every stage ensures full oversight of fruit quality, from vine to container. When importers buy from Lazzara, they’re dealing directly with the people responsible for producing the fruit — not multiple disconnected suppliers.

At Lazzara Fruits, quality is supported by:
-
HACCP accreditation

Fair Farms
Each box of grapes is fully traceable, tracking:

The staff involved in harvesting and packing
This traceability gives importers confidence that every shipment meets international food safety and ethical sourcing requirements.
Precision cooling and temperature control
Freshness is critical in Australian grapes export, especially across long international shipping routes.
All grapes at Lazzara Fruits are:
-
Pre-cooled immediately after harvest
-
Stored in high-humidity, temperature-controlled cool rooms
-
Monitored by computer-linked cooling systems
-
Loaded directly from cool storage into export containers
This fast and controlled cooling process locks in freshness and extends shelf life, ensuring grapes arrive in peak condition for premium retail markets.
Export-ready infrastructure and inspection
Lazzara Fruits is DAFF accredited and equipped to conduct on-farm fruit inspections within its own warehouse.
Once inspected, fruit is:
-
Loaded directly into export containers
-
Handled minimally to reduce damage
-
Maintained at optimal temperature throughout transport
This streamlined export process reduces risk and ensures consistent quality for international buyers.
Sustainable and ethical farming practices
Modern retail markets increasingly demand accountability, sustainability and ethical production. This is another reason Australian grapes export remains highly trusted worldwide.
Lazzara Fruits is committed to:
-
Sustainable farming methods
-
Ethical labour practices

Protecting the reputation of international trading partners
These values align closely with the expectations of premium global retailers.
