Chile has about 1,300 blueberry growers, mainly located in central and southern Chile and around 15,601 hectares planted with high bush blueberries.
CarSol’s Chilean farms are in Chillan, a city located about 400 kms south of the country’s capital, Santiago.
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.
