Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh and chilled cauliflower and broccoli in Chile expanded from 73.8 thousand tons in 2018 to 82.0 thousand tons in 2023. Growth through 2020 was supported by a consistent increase in the area planted with broccoli across key regions like Metropolitana, Valparaíso, Coquimbo, and Maule, reflecting greater focus on local production for both fresh consumption and industrial processing for frozen products.

After a contraction to 73.4 thousand tons in 2021, production recovered strongly, reaching over 81 thousand tons in 2022 and 2023. This rebound coincided with further reported expansion of cultivated area and output destined for the frozen segment. During this period, the Chilean government implemented a ban on several highly toxic pesticides and launched a new regulatory plan for agrochemicals, which altered farming practices and may have influenced production methods.

The export of broccoli seeds emerged as a notable component of Chile's horticultural exports, with the United States and Japan as key destinations. Despite a reported decrease in wholesale broccoli prices in 2023, the overall market volume continued to rise, underscoring the resilience of domestic production capacity.
