Chilena Nuez
Santiago, octubre de 2024.- La Asociación de Productores y Exportadores de Nueces de Chile (ChileNut) publicó recientemente el “Informe Final de la Temporada de Producción 2024/25”. Los datos mostraron que, aunque la producción de nueces esta temporada aumentó un 8% en comparación con la temporada anterior, alcanzando un máximo histórico de 195.000 toneladas, el volumen total de exportación cayó un 12% interanual, lo que provocó una profunda reflexión de la industria sobre el panorama de la competencia del mercado internacional y la eficiencia de la cadena de suministro. El informe señaló que el aumento de la producción de nuez de Chile se benefició de mejores condiciones climáticas y técnicas de plantación optimizadas, pero la principal razón de la disminución de las exportaciones fue la débil demanda del mercado mundial y las fluctuaciones de los precios.

We can also connect the weighing machine with a box folding machine, a roller conveyor and a sealing machine. In this way, people can sort and pack fruits automatically.
