Chile: Food Processing Ingredients Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CI2025-0002
The Chilean food processing industry is a highly developed and competitive sector, playing a crucial role in the national economy. It benefits from Chile’s diverse agricultural production, extensive international trade agreements, and strong export orientation, especially in processed fruits, seafood, and dairy products. The Chilean food processing industry is driven by health trends, sustainability, and exports. The dairy, meat, and processed fruit sectors remain dominant, while plant-based and functional foods are rapidly growing. There are significant opportunities for imported food ingredients in Chile, as the food processing industry imports half of all ingredients.
