Why seedless grapes dominate global markets
When it comes to seeded vs seedless grapes, one clear winner has emerged in both local and international markets — seedless grapes. They’re easier to eat, have a longer shelf life, and are the preferred choice for buyers and consumers worldwide.
At Lazzara Fruits, we specialise in premium seedless table grapes grown under the Australian sun and exported to countries across Asia, the Middle East and Europe.
The key difference between seeded and seedless grapes
As the name suggests, seeded grapes contain small, edible seeds inside the flesh, while seedless grapes have been cultivated through natural breeding programs to remove them.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
-
Contain 1–4 small seeds
-
Often larger and juicier, but less convenient
-
Commonly used for juicing or processing
Seedless grapes
-
Completely seed-free and easy to eat
-
Hold their firmness longer during shipping
-
Preferred by retail buyers and consumers
That’s why seedless varieties make up most of the Australian table grape export market.
Why exporters and importers prefer seedless grapes
For international buyers, seedless grapes aren’t just a consumer preference — they’re a logistical advantage.
-
Longer shelf life: better post-harvest performance and less waste
-
Less handling damage: fewer pressure points during packing
-
Consumer demand: easier to market in supermarkets and retail displays
-
Consistent quality: reliable texture and sweetness across shipments
