Research on the Optimization and Selection of Table Grape Varieties

Table grapes are an important economic crop with a wide range of cultivars grown across temperate to subtropical regions worldwide. Because different cultivars show significant differences in attributes such as color, taste, shape, price, and seed presence, consumers often find it difficult to make trade-offs when choosing. To address this issue, this study constructed a comprehensive multi-criteria evaluation model for several common table grape cultivars based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). By assigning weights to key indicators and ranking the alternatives accordingly, the advantages and disadvantages of each variety were compared, resulting in an overall score-based ranking of four table grape cultivars. This provides consumers with a quantitative basis for making purchasing decisions.
