  2. Global Environment • The Chilean fruit industry is ranked anywhere from first to fifth in the world in production of fruit.

  3. Global Environment • The Chilean government has helped create this huge export industry through their promotion of industry since the 1970’s.

  4. National Environment • The various climates and isolation of Chile make it ideal for fruit production. • Isolation means there is a lessened risk of crop damage from plagues and viruses • Variety of climates allows for production of many different types of fruit • The fruit industry is seen as an important sector for growth in the Chilean economy and is encouraged by the government to expand.

  5. History • Company founded by Luis Bozzolo & Sons in 1908. • Located in Quillota • 120 km north of Santiago • Town famous for fruit and vegetable production • Originally dedicated to production of tomato paste • After WWII: • Production of canned legumes (green beans, corn, peas)

  6. History • 1950’s • Began canning peaches, apricots, and strawberries, and jams • Began manufacturing their own containers • Making them more self-sufficient

  7. History: Export Phase • 1985 • Shipment of canned cherries to Japan • 1987 • Shipment of canned tomatoes to North America • 1994 • Shipment of tomato paste to Asia, North America, and South America

  8. Vegetables • Peeled Tomato with or without Basil • Diced Tomatoes • Crushed Tomato • Tomato Paste • Asparagus Spears or Heads • Sweet Corn • Red Pepper/Bell Pepper (Peeled Completely) • Sliced and Unpeeled Red Peppers • Diced and Peeled Red Pepper • Hearts of Palm • Black Olives Products • Fruits • Halved, Sliced, or Diced Peaches • Halved Pears • Halved Apricots • Cherries • Peeled Grapes • Strawberries • Sliced Pineapples • Pineapple Tidbits • Fruit Cocktail • Fruit Macedonia • Papayas • Prepared Plates • Pork and Beans • Chili Beans • Ravioli with Tomato Sauce
