Chilean Fresh Fruits
In a single decade, Chilean fresh fruit earned a name for itself as a world-class product. As a result, Chile stands now as the Southern Hemisphere’s largest shipper of fruit products.
Chile is surrounded on all sides by formidable natural barriers effectively shielding it from pest and disease. As a long country, Chile has practically all climates, from the scorching deserts of the north to the cold expanses of the south. The result is the ability to grow a wide range of quality products, including grapes, apples, cherries, blueberries, kiwifruit, plums, pears, lemons, clementines, oranges, avocados, peaches, nectarines, among others, on over 320,000 hectares stretching throughout the length of the country.
The fruit sector, encompassing over 7,800 growers and 747 exporters, ships to more than 1,700 consumers in more than 100 different countries around the world.
Key products include apples and fresh grapes, which alone account for over 59 percent of fresh fruit exports in the south hemisphere. Wide recognition of Chile as a fruit fly-free zone has greatly expanded the range of export products to other items, notably berries and citrus fruits.
As an exporter country, Chile meets all Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) standards required by world markets, as certified by recognized international institutions.

Fruits from Chile
“Fruits from Chile” is the brand name under which Chilean fruit is being promoted in generic activities, such as trade fairs and promotional export activities. It is a consistent and harmonized branding strategy for the Chilean fruit sector and its related sectors, which would reflect the image and values conveyed by the Chilean country branding project.
The brand is based on the key factors that have permitted Chile to become a world fruit export leader, the unique characteristics of the country of origin, the quality of its products and the spirit of its workers.
This is the result of an important effort between the private-public sector represented through the Chilean Fruit Exporters Association (ASOEX) and ProChile (the Chilean Promotion Bureau).
“Fruits from Chile, cultivated by dedicated hands, in the southernmost tip of the American continent along the Pacific coast, with privileged geographical and climatic conditions, all of which guarantee a quality, reliable and delicious product that represents the best of Chile and the spirit of its people”.
Chilean Fresh Fruit Association
The Chilean Fruit Exporters Association is a non-for-profit trade association, founded in 1935 and whose members represent 96.5% of the total volume of fruits exported from the country and 63.1% of total hectares planted of fresh fruit in Chile. The institution’s main objective is to facilitate the export process of fruits from Chile across the globe.
