Foods from Chile
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.

Chile is one of the world’s largest producers of salmon. This product is exported to 76 countries and total exports exceded US$3.5 billion in 2015. Chile is the main exporter of Frozen salmon fillets.
The main products from industrial and small – scale fishing are jack mackerel, sardines, southern hake, pacific pomfret, giant squid, locos, sea urchins, king crab, snow crab, crab, shrimp, lobster and prawns, among others. Chilean seafood is exported to 90 countries and total exports exceeded US$833 million in 2015.
This international position has been achieved thanks to strict compliance with regulations while ensuring harmony with sustainable production, including the use of fishing quotas and temporary closures. The industry uses systems to monitor products from starting point through to destination. Ongoing research has enabled production to be increased, resources to be diversified and new products created in the context of a production system which meets the highest international sanitary standards.
