Grapes grown in Yamethin Township have received orders majorly from Yangon Region.

Currently, Yamethin grapes, which are harvested during the monsoon season, are transported to Yangon, Mawlamyine, and Mandalay, but the majority of orders are placed from Yangon. 

However, the price of monsoon grapes is not as reasonable as grapes harvested in other seasons.

However, Yangon is the biggest buyer. Last summer was a grape peak season, and farmers could make profits. 

Fruits are produced from February to May.

The summer grape price was pretty good, and the trade was good, too.

“But monsoon grape price is not much good,” said Ko Aung Ko Win, a grape farmer from Yamethin Township. 

There are many grape plantations in Yamethin, and grapes are distributed nationwide. 

“Yamethin is the biggest grape producer, and grapes are distributed across the country from Yamethin. 

There are lots of grape brokers who distribute nationwide. In Yamethin, grape farms can make a profit. 

In Yamethin, grape plantations have been expanded in Thekyun, West Oatpho, Letha and Kalamyaw village-tracts, and according to 2013 statistics, there are a total of about 5,000 grape plantation acres in Yamethin Township.
