Wine grape cultivation is gaining strong impetus in tropical climatic conditions throughout the world. Tropical viticulture has only been practiced commercially, since approximately 50 years. Countries such as Brazil, India, Thailand and Venezuela play a leading role in the tropical grape production. However, it can be noted that there is a trend towards the expansion of tropical viticulture in the world, since there are vineyards being established in different countries in South America (Bolivia, Colombia, Peru, Guatemala), in Africa (Madagascar, Namibia, Tanzania) and Asia (Vietnam, China). The production technology in the tropical regions differs significantly from the one employed in the traditional temperate regions. It is necessary to break the bud dormancy in order to foster bud burst, and special management techniques have to be employed to overcome problems of low fertility and to control vigor.
