The Chilean Chamber of Commerce and Culture is pleased to announce the opening of the Indonesian market for six Chilean products. This strategic move represents a significant opportunity to diversify the export destinations of the industry. Indonesia, with a population of nearly 300 million and an annual growth rate of around 5% for the next five years, presents a burgeoning market.
The six Chilean products include frozen blueberries, cherries, kiwis, and grapes, as well as shelled and unshelled dry nuts. This milestone was achieved due to the sanitary opening made by Indonesia, allowing these products to be exported to the Asian country.
These developments are a result of an extensive negotiation process led by the Undersecretary of Agriculture, Ignacia Fernández. Other key contributors included the National Director of the Office of Agricultural Studies and Policies (Odepa), Andrea García, the General Director of ProChile, Ignacio Fernández, and representatives from the Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG), the National Society of Agriculture (SNA), Fedefruta, Chilenut, and Chilealimentos.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the bilateral agenda with Indonesia has advanced significantly. The negotiation process that will allow the export of nuts and frozen fruit has concluded, marking a significant step in Chile-Indonesia relations.
Moreover, Chilean culture is also making waves in Indonesia. A Chilean content creator, @daniela.lorenzo, recently shared a video on TikTok featuring a restaurant in Indonesia serving Chilean food, including sopaipillas, humitas, and empanadas. This cultural exchange further strengthens the bond between the two countries, promoting not only trade but also cultural understanding and appreciation.
