  • CarSol Peru is a joint venture between CarSol and JRM SAC.
  • The Company is currently expanding its production capabilities with two new projects; Piura II and Piura III. Piura II is an extension of Piura I, where the land is increased by 330 hectares that are planted between 2021 and 2022.
  • Based on the experience in Portugal, CarSol decided to continue harvesting blueberries using the “plotted plant” method..
  • These increases in production will allow CarSol to serve more retailers in North America, Europe and Asia.

  • Chillan has a Mediterranean climate with mild winters, dry and warm summers and precipitations between May and July.
  • The replanting of better varieties explain the decrease in the volume performance per hectares of the last seasons.
  • During the last seasons, CarSol Chile has replanted part of their farms with higher quality varieties in order to better meet consumer trends and generate diversification.
