Chile: Lower Export Volumes Forecasted for Chilean Cherries
The cherry exporters committee of ASOEX (Chile’s fruit exporters association) is expecting a 27.7% decrease on export volume for MY2015/2016 due to weather conditions that affected production during the Chilean spring and a 10 day delay on harvest date. Projections indicate that total amount exported for MY2015/2016 will be 74,501 MT compared to 103,184 MT in MY2014/2015.
