India joins OIV as 45th Member State
August 2, 2011
The Republic of India is now a fully-fledged member of the inter-governmental vine and wine organisation OIV. It becomes the organisation’s 45th member country.
Indian authorities, together with grape growers and winemakers, decided six months ago it was time to make their voice heard in the global wine sector and applied for OIV membership. Six months to obtain what some countries spend years striving for is an achievement in itself. The speed of the process is attributed to two major factors. Firstly, the commitment and determination of India’s ambassador to France, Ranjan Mathai, who becomes India’s Foreign Secretary on 1st August and is said to have worked “tirelessly to promote an agreement on both sides”. “One of the most significant features of the whole process is that OIV Member Countries voted unanimously “yes” to India’s candidature, thanks to the hard work developed by key authorities such as Mr. Mathai”, stated Federico Castellucci, OIV director general. The other key factor was the spectacular development of the Indian vineyard and its potential as a wine grower and consumer country. India’s area under vine grew by 66 percent between 1998 and 2008, reaching a total area of 71,400 hectares. This, and the fact that India is world’s second most populated country, swayed delegate opinion in favour of the country.
Currently, a large proportion of India’s vineyard is dedicated to growing dessert grapes with production reaching 15,940 quintals in 2008. India’s unusual climate, which is both wet and warm all year long, allows Indian grape growers to harvest grapes twice a year in some areas. Most of the country’s vineyards are located in three regions – Maharashtra (west coast), Bangalore (south) and Himachal (north).
