Earlier Report Observations

The apricot market volume in Chile grew slightly in 2019 to 5 748 t, but then entered a period of decline, falling by nearly 30% over the next three years to a low of 4 013 t in 2022.

This contraction was driven primarily by a sustained drop in domestic apricot production, which decreased from 6 782 t in 2018 to 4 791 t in 2023. Fluctuations in export volumes, which ranged from 655 t to 1 154 t annually, also contributed to year-to-year changes in available domestic supply.

By 2023, the market volume stabilized at 4 014 t, indicating a potential leveling off after several years of decline.
