<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe president of the Federation of Fruit Producers of Chile (FEDEFRUTA), Jorge Valenzuela, indicated that \u201cCurrently there are robots that are applying herbicides, controlled from a phone, there are agrochemicals that are applied through drones, today the question is which of these machines emits less noise for sustainability reasons, so as not to disturb the environment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with this he specified that \u201cWe are very optimistic in the agricultural sector, but we need a dose of global reality, so at Fruittrade 2023 we will find out, for example, what will happen to China, which consumes 45 percent of our fruit.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n In her initial greeting, the Undersecretary of Agriculture, Ignacia Fernandez, pointed out that \u201cWe have been working on strengthening agricultural attach\u00e9s, to strengthen the representation of the Ministry of Agriculture through ProChile. We want to strengthen our presence in Asia, probably opening a new attach\u00e9 office. Recently, the SAG made a tour to Asia to continue the phytosanitary agenda for plums, peaches, apricots, and apples, to advance on the path of new and more markets for Chilean export products.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fern\u00e1ndez highlighted the progress in phytosanitary opening in fresh plums for the United States in 2022 and in lemons for Mexico in 2023, \u201cThis is a priority for us too,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For his part, Ignacio Fern\u00e1ndez, Director of Prochile, said in his inaugural speech \u201cDuring 2022, fruit shipments totaled around USD5 billion and so far this year they are already USD3.8 billion, which is going quite well\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOne of the important brands is 'Cherries from Chile' which has achieved resounding success, not only due to the work of ProChile, but fundamentally due to the excellent work being done by the private sector to promote cherry exports,\u201d <\/em>he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He highlighted the work being done in Asia to continue to deepen the presence in these markets inside and outside China. \u201cAnother relevant market is undoubtedly India. In July we had a public-private mission and we were able to see first-hand how fruit is an ambassador for our country in the different markets. We are reaching places that one would not have imagined and that generates great pride and a very powerful sense of opportunity. Since 2007, when our partial trade agreement was signed, trade with India has grown by around 500%, so there is enormous potential that we must continue to work on. Without a doubt, apples, kiwis, cherries, grapes and blueberries have tremendous potential.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n More than forty talks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The event was organized by FEDEFRUTA and supported by the Ministry of Agriculture's Fund for the Promotion of Agricultural and Forestry Exports, through ProChile. More than 70 stands of companies from the fruit auxiliary industry and more than 40 technical talks on the market, marketing, technology and export of Chilean fruit have taken place over these two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The thematic axes were Market Diversification and Exploration; Research and Development; Artificial Intelligence in Agriculture; Financing and Economy; Consumer Trends; Climate Change and Sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n cherry room<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n On Thursday, Carlos Tapia, a specialist advisor on cherry production, co-founder of Smartcherry and founder and technical director of Avium, spoke at the cherry show, where he gave a detailed overview of cherry production in Chile and presented the latest research carried out with his team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El mi\u00e9rcoles 23 de agosto se inaugur\u00f3 la principal convenci\u00f3n anual de productores de fruta de Chile, Fruittrade 2023, la cual reuni\u00f3 en su primera jornada 1.500 asistentes entre agricultores, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":224,"featured_media":25588,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2631],"tags":[2978],"category_proveedor":[],"pais":[],"class_list":["post-25586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eventos","tag-fruittrade-2023"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/smartcherry.cl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-08-25-at-09.13.03.jpeg\")
