    Fruit export grapes
     
    The season was marked by a blocked flow of goods, and in order to bring high-quality Chilean fruits that meet customer requirements to their destinations, the Chilean agricultural export sector faced great potential challenges
    in coordination and cooperation among the various actors involved in the sector.
     
    Chile remains the main supplier of table grapes to the Southern Hemisphere, with exports of about 602,000 tonnes (74 million cases, 8.
    2 kg/carton), accounting for 31%
    of the Southern Hemisphere's total exports this season.
    Despite various surprises, Chilean grape shipments rebounded by 12%
    compared to the previous season.
    A large number of grapes could not be exported in the previous season due to the impact of the heavy rains of the harvest season, which significantly reduced the volume
    of exports in that season.
     
    Peru, the second largest supplier of table grapes to the Southern Hemisphere, exports of about 530,000 tonnes, accounting for 27 percent of the region's shipments, up 15 percent
    from the previous quarter.
    This trend has been around for the past 5 quarters and is expected to continue
    .
     
    Chile's exports of table grapes are mainly red seedless varieties, accounting for 41% of total exports, and seedless white varieties rank second, reaching 28%.
     
    The performance of new varieties of grapes in the main southern hemisphere supplier countries was outstanding during the quarter, and exports continued to grow
    .
    Total exports from Peru, Chile and South Africa rose 27 percent from the previous quarter and accounted for 57 percent
    of total southern hemisphere exports.
    Chile exported about 250,000 tonnes of new varieties of table grapes (31 million cases), accounting for 43% of the country's total exports, with the smallest
    share of protected varieties among several countries.
    The share of protected varieties in South Africa is 73 per cent and in Peru 62 per cent
    .
    The three main protected varieties exported by Chile are shee SHEEGENE 13 – TIMCO (5 million cases), SHEEGENE 20 – ALLISON (3.
    6 million cases) and IFG 3-SWEET CELEBRATION (3.
    3 million cases).
     
    The main market for table grapes in Chile remains the United States, which accounts for 50%
    of shipments.
    But in the U.
    S.
    , delays in unloading and fumigation have caused significant logistical problems
    .
    The second largest number of sends was the Far East market (22%), with China as the main representative
    .
    According to Chinese customs data, from January to June this year, China imported 76,000 tons of Chilean table grapes, worth 1.
    19624 million yuan
    .
    Europe is the third largest destination market with a 17%
    share.
