Chile: Retail Foods
Link to report:
The United States is the second largest supplier of U.S. consumer-oriented products to the Chilean retail industry, shipping a record of $699 million in 2019. Based on market size, market growth rate, and the United States’ competitive position in the market, the following products have the greatest potential for sale in the Chilean retail food sector: meat products (pork, poultry and beef), beer, cheese, prepared food, almonds, fruit juices, fresh fruits, snack foods, sauces, mixed condiments and seasonings, and pet food. Since President Piñera declared the state of emergency in mid-March due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the retail food sector in Chile has been considered an essential or critical activity and continued to operate without interruptions while implementing strict sanitary measures to avoid the spread of the COVID-19 among workers and customers. As a result of social distancing measures and strict quarantines, food retailers saw an increase in online sales that may continue in the long term.
