Berries

Quiet an unknown fact is that the strawberry was first discovered in Chile many years ago. But commercial production of berries is a relatively recent development.

Raspberries, first began being cultivated in 1979, and are today the most important berry for export, with blueberries, strawberries and blackberries the other main products.

Currently the US is the major export destination for these products, whilst Europe, is increasing its consumption of Chilean berries every year.
