- Fresh fruit leads Chile's export mix - Chile emerges as major
supplier of fresh fruit to world market due to ample natural
resources, consumer demand for fresh fruit during winter season in
U.S. and Europe, and incentives in agricultural policies of Chilean
government, encouraging trend toward diversification of exports and
development of nontraditional crops - U.S. Dept. of Agriculture,
Economic Research Service Report Chile is among the developing
economies taking advantage of these trends, pursuing a free market
economy. This has allowed for diversification through the expansion
of fruit production for export, especially to the U.S. and Western
Europe. Chile has successfully diversified its agricultural sector
to the extent that it is now a major fruit exporting nation. Many
countries view Chile's diversification of agriculture as a model to
be followed. Meanwhile, the U.S. remains the largest single market
for Chile's fruit exports. However, increasing demand from the EC
and Central and East European countries combined may eventually
surpass exports to the U.S., spurring further growth in Chile's
exports. If youve read this far, your eyes probably hurt and youve
been reading this tedious long-winded text instead of listening to
me. Im insulted- cant you see Im doing a presentation up here? Look
at me! Congratulations, however, on having such good eyesight.
