Foods from Chile: A reliable food supplier
Chile is a country with great natural and human potential located in a place of amazing geographical and climatic contrasts. Chile’s unique characteristics lend it unrivalled conditions for producing fresh, pure, healthy, good quality food which is appreciated around the world.
Chile has the most transparent skies on Earth and possesses some of the world’s most significant freshwater reserves. Natural barriers at all four compass points protect Chile, converting it into a true phytosanitary island, thereby reducing the incidence of pests and diseases.
As it is such a long country, Chile has an unusually varied range of climates. One that particularly stands out is the Mediterranean climate, which has enabled Chile to become a major food producer. This climate is especially advantageous for obtaining good quality raw materials and staggered production, which is counter-seasonal to the Northern Hemisphere.

Sustainability
The Chilean food industry has worked hard to enhance its social and environmental performance. Companies and employees have made a commitment to improving conditions, processes, and products.
For example, our agriculture, fruit and vegetable, and wine and spirits industries have implemented initiatives related to energy, waste, climate change, and community relations so as to guarantee that they will meet the demands of international markets and consumers around the world.

Dried and dehydrated fruits and nuts
Chile has a pleasant Mediterranean climate and the ability to produce counter-seasonally to the northern hemisphere. This has enabled the country to become one of the principal exporters of dried and dehydrated fruits and nuts. Chile is the world’s number one exporter of prunes and dehydrated apples and number two in hazelnut exports. Chile is also the biggest exporter in the Southern Hemisphere of walnuts and third in the world.
Chilean dried and dehydrated fruits and nuts have superior organoleptic characteristics, so they are able to enter even the most demanding markets.
Chile’s principal dried and dehydrated fruits and nuts are walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, prunes, dehydrated apples and raisins, which have experienced very dynamic development in recent years.
The industry’s exports have tripled in the space of just one decade, going from shipments valued at USD 287 million in 2005 to USD 871 million in 2014 and they continue to grow strongly. Today they are one of Chile’s main food export sectors.

Agro-Industry
Dehydrated foods, preserves, frozen foods and juice concentrates are widely produced by Chile’s agro-industry. The most produced items include tinned peaches, fruit pulp, tomato paste and berries. Chile’s agro-industry exports increased in value by more than 200% between 2003 and 2014, rising from US$480 million to over US$1.6 billion.
These products are characterized by their high quality and their benefits to human health, as they have the high levels of antioxidants, fibre and nutrients sought by the most demanding consumers.
Our Mediterranean climate and natural barriers make Chile ideal for growing quality fruit and vegetables. Some of the world’s finest gourmet foods contain Chilean ingredients.
