According to diplomatic sources “the agenda of the Chilean delegation includes a visit to the Institute of Agricultural Research and a meeting at the Ministry of Agriculture with the objective of discussing the access and opening of the markets to the products of Chile in India and vice-versa, as well as the cooperation and the possibilities of joint work in the agricultural field.”
“India represents a strategic market for the growth and diversification of Chilean exports in the world. For this reason, the Chilean authorities and exporters carry out strong efforts and a permanent work rapprochement and promotion towards the Indian market,” said the diplomat.
In September, the office of ProChile in India, the Chilean Fresh Fruits Association undertook a tour in India, seeking to position themselves as suppliers of quality fresh fruits from Chile, the world’s largest exporter of grapes, blueberries and plums.
