Bottleneck - available grape varieties for exports

Grapes

•  in 2009 Cadastre registered 539ha table grapes, 689 wine grapes and 360ha singani

Bottleneck - local consumption of 10 million liters - limited interest for exports

Exports

•  Very limited exports, less then USD 50,000 per year (of which large proportion to China)

Bottleneck - limited knowledge and experience with exports Bottleneck - limited awareness of Bolivian wines in destination countries

Quality

•  No ISO registrations and limited quality assurance (HACCP)

•  Complicated quality registration process (SENASAG)

Bottleneck - no Certificate of Origin without quality registration

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

•  Environmental standards are implemented scarcely

•  Required training and education to wineries and grape growers

•  Alcohol abuse (Singani)

Service to be delivered by Associations

Bottleneck - linking Singani with Wine brands might have negative effect on awareness and involvement of wine sector

Supply chain

•  Imports required for raw material such as glass and cork

•  Complicated and lengthy procedures for import

Bottleneck - dependency on import procedures

Stakeholders

Stakeholders
