This is located in the Atacama Region, one of the key areas for producing Chilean table grapes destined for the U.S. market under the Systems Approach protocol.
The 2025 Chilean table grape season began with optimism among growers, who highlighted the fruit's good quality, and the opportunity to export under the Systems Approach protocol to the U.S.
The work of SENASA of Peru and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, achieved this innovation that opens a new option for the Peruvian industry other than shipping fruit in containers.
The Peruvian Table Grape Producers Association (Provid) projects record exports, estimating more than 78 million boxes of 8.2 kilos each, equivalent to approximately 640,000 MT.
This first season under the Systems Approach presents significant logistical challenges in Chile and the United States.
The first ship, loaded with 4,000 pallets of table grapes -equivalent to almost 200 containers- left the port of Paracas bound for ports along the U.S. coast.
This was a milestone for the Chilean industry in addition to the first exports under the same protocol to the United States.
The fruit exported by Subsole arrived at the Port of Philadelphia on the east coast of the United States on Wednesday 18.
The Mexican grape season was marked by a drop in prices in the U.S. market, making it more attractive for producers, in some cases, to leave the fruit in the domestic market.
The opening of the Chinese market raised the prospect for Brazilian grape exports to be packaged in DaColheita/FarmFresh packaging.
