Chile has become one of Europe’s favorite sourcing countries for fruit and vegetables.

Fresh produce exports are one of the country’s main growth sectors, 【B1】______ .
Much of the country’s agriculture is carried out in the fertile Maipo Valley, 【B2】______ .

Being located in the southern hemisphere is another advantage and, at certain times of the year, 【B3】______ .

Raspberries are their largest frozen fruit export. There has been a dramatic rise in the export sales of frozen fruit and vegetables, 【B5】______ .
A very important player in this success story has been the Frutos del Maipo Corporation. Frutos del Maipo was formed in 1978, originally to provide fruit for jam producers in Chile. Using both fresh and frozen fruit, it now supplies the national industry all year round, as well as the principal markets of Europe, the USA and Japan. Its sales last year reached 8,000 tons and were valued at US $12m, representing 30% of the Chilean market.
