With offshore offices and staff overseeing all aspects of growing, logistics and supply chain, Oppy’s footprint offers retailers a year-round grape category from Brazil, Peru and Chile, as well as South Africa, Mexico and California. Specialty varieties range from Candy Snaps®, Autumn Crisp™, Straw Grapes™ and Candy Dreams™ to tried-and-true varieties Krissy, Magenta, Timco and Allison, and beyond.
