2. Sharad Seedless: Sharad Seedless grapes are characterized by their deep purple-black color and sweet, juicy flesh. They are a popular export variety known for their excellent flavor.

3. Sonaka: Sonaka grapes are known for their large size, crisp texture, and sweet taste. They have a distinctive reddish-black color and are favored in export markets.

4. Krishna Seedless: Krishna Seedless grapes are medium-sized, seedless, and have a dark purple to black color. They are known for their excellent taste and are exported to various countries.

5. Black Seedless: Black Seedless grapes are similar in appearance to Thompson Seedless but have a darker color and a sweet, rich taste. They are often exported for their attractive appearance and flavor.

6. Red Globe: Red Globe grapes are known for their large size and deep red color. They have a sweet and slightly musky flavor. While not as common in exports as some other varieties, they are still cultivated for international markets.

The choice of grape variety for export depends on factors such as consumer preferences in the target market, the intended use (fresh consumption or making wine), and the grape's appearance and flavor. India's grape production offers a range of options to meet different international demands.
