The Chilean Agriculture Sector
INTRODUCTION KEY CHARACTERISTICS MARKET OVERVIEW MARKET PROFILE PRIMARY BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
Chile is a leading producer and exporter of a wide range of high-value crops. Its Southern Hemisphere location, with five distinct climate zones, allows for the production of seasonal produce all year round when few regions of the world provide fresh supplies.
Thanks to its geographical composition, the country boasts one of the largest varieties of agricultural produce in the world. At the same time, these geographic characteristics (the Andes Mountain range to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the west, Patagonia to the south and the Atacama desert to the north) are the country’s ally as, together with strict controls, they have effectively protected the country’s agriculture from foreign diseases.[:]
