In some tropical countries temperate zone fruits are brought into production by defoliating them Sometimes chemical defoliants are use and sometimes, especially with grapes, the vines are defoliated by hand.
 
I also recall reading in some very old horticulture books that at one time girdling was used with a similar effect. You might want to research these possibilities.
