Chile: Stone Fruit Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

In MY2015/16 Chile’s climatic conditions were not favorable for cherry production. As a result, the production volume was reduced and exports were 83,558 MT. In MY2017/16 Chile’s cherry export volume is expected to reach 110,000 MT as “el Nino” effects are not expected to be an issue during this period and new orchards in Chile come into production. For fresh peach and nectarines, total exports increased 2.2 % in volume in MY2015/16 over MY2014/15, reaching 85,940 MT but decreased 8.1% in value to a total of US$ 94 million. Exports are expected to decline 5.5% to 81,200 MT in MY 2016/17, due to the decrease in the area planted and lower prices that peaches and nectarines have in relation to more profitable fruits.
