Tridge summary

Chile is the world's leading exporter of dried plums, with annual sales of approximately 75,000 tons to 77 countries across 5 continents. The industry has seen high international prices due to reduced production in California, France, and Argentina, coupled with increased Chinese demand. However, maintaining these prices is becoming challenging, and returns are starting to decline. Nonetheless, the future looks promising for the industry, with growing demand in China and India, despite initial competition. A tariff reduction is anticipated when Chile's President Gabriel Boric visits India in August, and since the second half of the previous year, Chile has been allowed to export tenderized dried plums to India without the need for fumigation.

The company is also diversifying its production to include various by-products.
