Earlier Report Observations

In 2018, the fresh tomato market in Chile reached 1 070 thousand tons, with production focused on domestic consumption. Restrictions on the import of fumigants for soil disinfection, in place since 2005, maintained high prices for these inputs, potentially affecting producer costs. In 2019, the economic crisis in Argentina, the main export market for Chilean fresh tomatoes, reduced export opportunities and put pressure on domestic prices, coinciding with a market volume decline to 1 027 thousand tons.

The market volume sharply contracted to 753 thousand tons in 2020. By 2021, it recovered to 871 thousand tons, aided by an expansion of the area cultivated for fresh tomatoes noted during that period.

After falling to 683 thousand tons in 2022, the market grew to 882 thousand tons in 2023, approaching the 2018 level.
