Chilean Exports⢠Fresh fruit leads Chile's export mix - Chile emerges as major supplier of fresh fruit to world
market due to ample natural resources, consumer demand for fresh fruit during winter season in U.S. and Europe, and incentives in agricultural policies of Chilean government, encouraging trend toward diversification of exports and development of nontraditional crops - U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Economic Research Service Report
⢠Chile is among the developing economies taking advantage of these trends, pursuing a free market economy. This has allowed for diversification through the expansion of fruit production for export, especially to the U.S. and Western Europe. Chile has successfully diversified its agricultural sector to the extent that it is now a major fruit exporting nation. Many countries view Chile's diversification of agriculture as a model to be followed.
⢠Meanwhile, the U.S. remains the largest single market for Chile's fruit exports. However, increasing demand from the EC and Central and East European countries combined may eventually surpass exports to the U.S., spurring further growth in Chile's exports.
⢠If youâve read this far, your eyes probably hurt and youâve been reading this tedious long-winded text instead of listening to me. Iâm insulted- canât you see Iâm doing a presentation up here? Look at me! Congratulations, however, on having such good eyesight.
