In 2023, Chile achieved a significant milestone in its prune export industry, shipping 72,028 tons worth US$268.4 million to 83 different markets worldwide, with China, Poland, and the United States being the top importers. The 2024 Prune Expo, hosted by Chileprunes at the Hotel Monticello in Chile, served as a crucial platform for industry players to converge and deliberate on pivotal issues. Pedro Pablo Díaz, the chairman of Chileprunes, underscored the critical role of the Chinese market due to its stability and loyalty, while also stressing the importance of maintaining strong ties with traditional markets such as Mexico, Germany, Poland, and Italy.
