The Board of Directors of the Chilean Fruit Exporters Association A.G. (ASOEX) has announced that Mr. Ronald Bown is transitioning to retirement.

On the verge of the Chilean citrus season, the citrus committee of ASOEX, delivered disappointing estimates of what is expected for this year's exports, noting that the challenges will be much greater than those that have been faced in previous seasons.

Having encountered numerous logistical issues over the past year, the Chilean Citrus Committee learned how to implement flexible programs that can be turned on and off quickly. 

To date, Chile has exported 2,813 tons of kiwifruit, which is well below the 4,882 tons in the same period last year.

About 4,000 Chilean cherry containers did not enter China on time due to logistical delays, according to iQonsulting.

A coordinated effort involving the entire supply chain from Chilean growers, authorities and their U.S counterparts has allowed the Chilean industry to optimize the process of exporting Chilean fresh plums.

The Chilean office of Agricultural Studies and Policies (Odepa) released its fruit bulletin for January-December 2021, showing fresh fruit achieved export sales of 2.62 million tons, equivalent to $5.05 billion FOB.
