Chile has positioned itself as the world's largest exporter of dehydrated plums, overcoming the climatic, logistical and competitive challenges of international trade. This industry stands out not only for its volume, but also for its ability to adapt to new global trends, diversify markets, and constantly improve its quality. In 2024 and so far in 2025, the figures support this leadership with exports exceeding US$255 million and a presence in more than 78 countries.<\/strong><\/p>

Record export volumes in 2024 and 2025<\/h3>\n

In 2024, Chile exported 88,897 metric tons of dehydrated plums, reaching a total value of US$ 255 million. During the first quarter of 2025, shipments reached 12,897 tons, representing US$ 39.5 million, a clear sign of the strength of this sector.<\/p>\n

These numbers reflect not only a steady performance, but also a growing trend of international acceptance, which allows Chilean companies to plan for the long term with greater confidence.<\/p>\n

Main international destinations<\/h3>\n

Sustained leadership of China and changes in its share of the market<\/h4>\n

China continues to be the main destination market, although with a proportional reduction in its share. In 2024, it accounted for a third of the exported volume (29,798 MT) and 25% of the total value (US$ 63.7 million). For the first quarter of 2025, this country received 22.7% of the volume and 17% of the value, indicating a greater diversification of markets.<\/p>\n

Expansion into Europe and Latin America<\/h4>\n

European markets such as Poland, Germany, the United Kingdom, Italy and the Netherlands are gaining prominence. In Latin America, Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Brazil stand out as strategic partners for export growth.<\/p>\n

Entry into new emerging markets<\/h4>\n

Chile has also made inroads into new, less traditional destinations, such as Lithuania, Algeria, the United Arab Emirates, Iceland and the Netherlands Antilles, demonstrating its capacity to respond to changes in the global market.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b<\/p>\n

Factors driving product quality and demand<\/h3>\n

One of the key elements of export success is product quality. This season, a better conversion from fresh to dried fruit is expected, and larger sizes are observed, which increases the perception of quality in demanding markets.<\/p>\n

Recovery and upward trend in international prices<\/p>\n

Since mid-2024, prices have shown an upward trend due to low global stock levels and high international demand, benefiting Chilean producers and exporters.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b<\/p>\n

Structural challenges of the export industry<\/h3>\n

Although the results are positive, the industry is not free of challenges. Among the main ones are:<\/p>\n

-Climate variability affecting agricultural production.<\/p>\n

-Pressure to reduce logistics costs and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

-Consolidation of higher quality standards in the markets.<\/p>\n

-Entry of new global competitors such as Uzbekistan, which is gaining market share in Asia and Europe.<\/p>\n

The threat of new global competitors<\/h4>\n

Uzbekistan, for example, has emerged as a relevant player in the international market for dried plums. This obliges Chile to reinforce its differentiation in quality, traceability, sustainability and country brand.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b<\/p>\n

Strategies to consolidate Chile's position in the global marketplace<\/h3>\n

Exporting companies have begun to implement innovation and marketing strategies focused on:<\/p>\n

-Promotion of Chilean origin as a seal of confidence.<\/p>\n

-International quality certifications.<\/p>\n

-Sustainability in agricultural production and green logistics.<\/p>\n

-Strategic alliances with local distributors in emerging markets.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b<\/p>\n

Analysis of the first quarter of 2025<\/h3>\n

During January and February 2025, 10,129 metric tons equivalent to US$ 29.7 million were exported, figures that confirm the stability and growth of the sector. The volume was distributed among 48 countries, with significant participation from Poland, Germany, Mexico, the United Kingdom and Italy.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b<\/p>\n

Importance of geographic diversification<\/h3>\n

Expansion into multiple destinations reduces trade risk, improves resilience to external shocks and fosters a stronger strategic position in the long term. Chile has shown that it is possible to grow without relying exclusively on one market, such as China.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b<\/p>\n

Outlook for the remainder of the 2025 season<\/h3>\n

A positive season is anticipated, with a greater supply of quality fruit and an international market willing to pay better prices. Chilean companies have the opportunity to consolidate their leadership, expand their brands, and strengthen the perception of their products in new consumer segments.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b<\/p>\n

Chile has managed to maintain its status as a world leader in the export of dried plums thanks to a combination of business strategy, adaptation to the global environment, excellence in quality, and vision for the future. Although there are challenges, the sector is well positioned to continue growing in a sustainable manner.<\/p>
