CHILE ANALYSIS

Chile closes with 36 avocado shipments, 97% of which are destined for Latin America

The Chilean campaign is entering its final phase with shipments concentrated in the region. Europe leads the season with 61% of total exports.

The Chilean export campaign is entering its final stretch with clear signs of a slowdown in trade flows. In week 12, Chile recorded a total of 36 shipments, reflecting the gradual depletion of exportable supply at this stage of the season.

Of the total weekly shipments, 97% went to Latin America, which in practical terms equates to 35 shipments, while the presence in Europe was marginal, with just one shipment. This behavior reflects the typical pattern of the end of the season, where remaining volumes are channeled to closer markets.

For the season to date, Europe remains the top destination for Chilean fruit, accounting for 61% of shipments. Latin America follows with 25%, while Asia maintains a stable share of around 11%.

One of the most significant changes in destination distribution is the decline of the United States, which has reduced its share from 9% to 3%. This adjustment has been primarily offset by Europe, which has strengthened its position as the dominant market for Chilean tourism offerings during the season.

With these moves, Chile closes its campaign reaffirming the importance of the European market in its export strategy, in a context where shipments decrease and are concentrated in specific destinations typical of the final phase of the cycle.
