Chile: Raisin Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Chile’s raisin production relies on inputs from table grape production from the northern regions in Chile, which offer the best climatic conditions for raisin production. Grape orchards for raisin production are almost nonexistent. Table grapes planted area has declined since MY2013/14 and in MY2017/18 totaled 48,202 hectares (ha). The United States remains Chile’s top market for raisins. Chile’s production and exports are forecast nearly unchanged. Post estimates that MY2017/18 exports will remain flat at 51,960 metric tons (MT) and decrease slightly to 51,000 MT in MY2018/19 following the decrease trend in table grape planted area production.
