Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh cucumbers in Chile grew from 10 382 t in 2018 to 17 587 t in 2021, driven by a significant expansion of cultivated area, including a 32% increase in cucumber hectares in 2018. This production growth was supported by rising consumer demand for fresh and refrigerated products, as well as improvements in cold-chain logistics that enhanced product availability and quality.

After peaking in 2021, the market contracted to 16 634 t in 2022 and further to 16 209 t in 2023. This decline followed the prohibition of several highly toxic pesticides by the Ministry of Agriculture, which required producers to adapt their phytosanitary management. Although the total area dedicated to fresh vegetables continued to grow at 3.6% annually, the regulatory change temporarily affected production volumes.
