Chile: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual
Link to report:
In July 2024, USDA published the final notice allowing certain table grapes to be safely imported by the United States from parts of Chile. The new requirements will allow table grapes from areas of Chile where European grapevine moth is either absent or at a low prevalence and will also protect U.S. agriculture from Chilean false red mite. These requirements reduce the use of methyl bromide and will also serve to increase the competitiveness of Chilean table grapes. In Marketing Year (MY) 2024/25, Post estimates that table grape production will increase by 6.6 percent, totaling 723,000 metric tons (MT) due to high yields. Exports will increase by 7.8 percent and total 570,000 MT. For apples, MY 2024/25 production will reach 920,000 MT, a 0.7 percent increase driven by high yields. Exports will increase by one percent and total 507,000 MT. Chile’s MY 2024/25 fresh pear production will increase by 2.5 percent, totaling 205,000 MT. Pear exports are projected to increase by 4.7 percent and total 104,700 MT.
