U.S. food and beverage products exported to Chile are perceived to be high quality, safe, and reliable, making them desirable products to Chilean consumers. As a result, Chile is the largest market in South America for U.S. consumer-oriented agricultural products, with U.S. exports totaling $663 million in 2020. To take advantage of these growing opportunities, the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) is recruiting qualified and export ready U.S. food processors to participate in the SaborUSA Virtual Market Showcase.

The virtual trade event will take place May 9-10 and provide a platform for U.S. exporters to have one-on-one meetings with interested Chilean brokers, distributors, and importers who can help sell your products in Chile.

Chile is considered the most stable, secure, and prosperous country in Latin America. It has a free, dynamic, and highly competitive market with a transparent regulatory structure and clear trade rules. In addition, the U.S.-Chile Free Trade Agreement ensures zero duties for all U.S. food and agricultural products.

We invite you to join us for the SaborUSA Market Showcase to tap into this promising market. You should apply for this virtual event if you sell U.S. export-ready processed foods, such as:

  • Beer and spirits
  • Processed pork products (such as bacon, ham, sausages, salami, hot dogs, lunch meat, canned meat, and meat-based sauces)
  • Premium beef cuts
  • Cheeses

Apply today! Chile’s fast-growing economy has enabled the country to have a modern and dynamic food processing and retail industry and this virtual trade event will allow you to connect with Chilean brokers and distributors to help you expand into this market.
