In 2009 the Coachella Valley had 300 less acres of grapes and produced $23,000,000 more in revenue from the grapes. The total revenue from grapes in 2008 was $128,454,300 and was all the way up to $151,141,200 in 2009. This is great news for an area with a 9.5% unemployment rate. The Coachella Valley is the largest grower of table grapes in the United States. With a sunny warm climate all year round, the abundant crops prosper. The grapes are large luscious and delicious. Have you ever had a raisin that ripened right on the vine? They are really good and quite a treat. The Coachella Valley is grateful for grapes and the industry and revenue provided by the grapes.
