Agriculture in Chile encompasses a wide range of different activities due its particular geography, climate and geology. Historically agriculture is one of the bases of Chile's economy, now agriculture and allied sectors like forestry, logging and fishing accounts only for 4.9% of the GDP as of 2007 and employed 13.6% of the country's labor force.
Some major agriculture products of Chile includes grapes, apples, pears, onions, wheat, corn, oats, peaches, garlic, asparagus, beans, beef, poultry, wool, fish and timber.[1] Due to its geographical isolation and strict customs policies Chile is free from diseases such as Mad Cow, fruit fly and Phylloxera, this plus being located in the southern hemisphere and its wide range of agriculture conditions are considered Chiles main comparative advantages. However, Chile's narrowness and the Andes mountains limits the arable land to 2.62% of the total territory.[1]
Chile's principal growing region and agricultural heartland is the Central Valley delimited by the Chilean Coast Range in the west, the Andes in the east Aconcagua River by the north and BĂo-BĂo River by the south. In the northern half of Chile cultivation is highly dependent on irrigation. South of the Central Valley cultivation is gradually replaced by aquaculture, silviculture, sheep and cattle farming.
Since the liberalization of Chile's economy in the 1980s export agriculture, mainly commodity products, grew and diversified. Some products that have reached the international market in huge quantities include salmon, Chilean wine, berries and fruit |

EVERYTHING! In the northern hemisphere when it is winter we can't grow or harvest, Chile sends us a good deal of our produce. Anything from peaches, mangos, papayas, grapes (Chilean wine is world-class), lemons, limes, etc.
