Juan Pablo Sotomayor of Frutexsa forecasts a modest increase in Chilean prune production for the 2024 season, with an expected output of 106,000 tons, up from 103,000 tons in 2023. Despite facing challenges like low sugar content and delayed harvests, approximately 24,000 tons of fresh prunes are anticipated to be exported to China, while the remainder will be processed into dried prunes, albeit with a lower than usual conversion rate.

In theory, 3 kilograms of fresh fruit can get 1 kilogram of dried fruit, but the conversion rate this season may be 3.5 to 1, or it may be a little worse. The sugar content of ...
