Nov. 15, 2022Chile: USDA estima caídas en la comercialización de uvas (-7,1%), manzanas (-0.6%) y peras(-2,7%)
In MY 2022/23, FAS Santiago (Post) estimates that table grape production will decrease by 7.1 percent reaching 732,000 metric tons. The decrease in production is caused by a decrease in table grape area planted (Figure 1). Planted table grape area decreased from 53,851 hectares in MY 2011/12 to 43,104 hectares in MY 2021/22. Post estimates that planted table grape area in MY 2022/23 will total 42,500 hectares, a 1.4 percent decrease from MY 2021/22, as grape producers continue to face tight margins.
Post estimates MY 2022/23 apple production at 1,030,000 MT, a 0.6 percent decrease from MY 2021/22. The decrease follows a 1.5 percent decrease in apple planted area (Table 5). The decrease in production is lower than decrease in planted area because it is offset by higher yields due to favorable climatic conditions in MY 2022/23. This year the winter was wetter than normal with a higher number of chilling hours, followed by milder temperatures in spring.
Considering the declining trend in planted pear area, Post estimates Chile’s MY 2022/23 fresh pear production to decrease by 2.3 percent and total 215,000 MT. For MY 2022/23, Post estimates higher yields due to abundant rainfall in the winter and favorable climatic conditions in the spring.
