The Fedefruta Pastpresident Council is made up of the founder of Fedefruta, Florencio Lazo Barra, three former helmsmen of the National Society of Agriculture such as Ricardo Arizt\u00eda de Castro, Luis Schmidt (former Chilean ambassador to China for two periods), Cristi\u00e1n Allendes Mar\u00edn, plus the former Minister of Agriculture and current president of the SNA, Antonio Walker Prieto, in addition to Rodrigo Echeverr\u00eda D\u00edaz, Juan Carolus Brown Bauz\u00e1 and Ram\u00f3n Achurra Larra\u00edn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n "Our Federation has always been a breeding ground for great leaders for trade union positions, and also for the public and diplomatic world. The participants of this Pastpresident Council have left an important mark, and we are sure that they will be a great contribution to reflecting on the most relevant issues,"<\/em> Valenzuela said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Fedefruta Producers Federation is a trade association that brings together more than 25 associations linked to fruit growing and the productive regions of the country, from Atacama to Chile Chico. It represents a sector that generates more than 5 billion dollars in foreign currency returns to the country, and is made up of producers\/exporters who are, in their 80%, small and medium-sized businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00abIn recent years we have seen the consolidation of cherries as the main product of our activity, we have seen the development of fruit growing from \u00d1uble to the south, and the growth of crops that were previously unthinkable, such as the European hazelnut\u00bb, said Valenzuela during the announcement of the Pastpresident Council. \u00abBut we have experienced the severity of the drought caused by climate change, the loss of competitiveness in table grapes and blueberries due to the explosion in Peru, and the resulting financing problem that we must overcome. That is why we need to unite all fruit growers, to guide a path that we can only travel together\u00bb<\/em>, concluded Jorge Valenzuela.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source: Fedefruta<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It is made up of fruit growers who have led the association for nearly 40 years of its existence.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22708,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[388,2787],"category_proveedor":[],"pais":[],"class_list":["post-22705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias","tag-fedefruta","tag-consejo-pastpresident"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/smartcherry.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/1684255124151-1024x577.jpeg\")
