Chile Expands Salmon Exports and Bolsters Trade Relations, Indonesia's EJMT Partners with SLUP, and Chilean Cherry Exports Set to Break Records

The Indo-Chilean Chamber of Commerce and Culture is pleased to report on several significant developments in the international trade space involving both Indonesia and Chile.

Chilean Salmon Exports

Chile has successfully expanded its salmon exports, with Australia now added to its list of market destinations. This move comes after Chile met the stringent biosecurity standards set by Australia (BICON) for salmonid imports. Chilean salmon exports, which surpassed US$6 billion in 2023, play a vital role in the national economy and in regions with robust aquaculture activity. The addition of Australia bolsters Chile's presence in markets such as the United States, Brazil, and Russia.

Chilean Market Opens to Bolivian Products

Chile and Bolivia are making significant strides in opening the Chilean market to Bolivian products, including milk, beef, oregano, avocados, llama meat products, Amazonian fruits, peanuts, almonds, honey, and eggs. This is part of a broader effort to invigorate trade exchanges and strengthen bilateral economic ties. The meeting to promote commercial exchange was presided over by Huáscar Ajata, Bolivia's Vice Minister of Foreign Trade and Integration, and Claudia Sanhueza, Chile's Undersecretary of International Economic Relations.

Indonesia's EJMT and SLUP Partnership

In Indonesia, East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), a branch of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), has appointed Sinarmas LDA Usaha Pelabuhan (SLUP) as its towing and pilotage provider. With this partnership, SLUP will deploy two port tugboats with a total engine power of 6,200 horsepower and provide Class 1 maritime pilot services to support the pilotage operations of the EJMT terminal and Lamongan Shorebase.

Vina Santa Rita's Sales and Chilean Cherry Exports

Vina Santa Rita reported a slight 0.3% increase in revenues during the first nine months of the year, totaling $121.387 billion. The consolidated export market, which includes Chile and Argentina, saw an increase in billing in Chilean pesos by 6.8%, reaching $61.935 billion pesos.

Meanwhile, the Chilean Agricultural and Livestock Service has launched an historic cherry export season, certifying the first 10 tons of this valuable fruit destined for demanding markets in China, India, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, and Spain. With Chile positioned as a global leader in cherry production, this year is expected to set a new export record.
