Information Session: Get Ready To Do Business in Chile
This session will provide market overviews on water solution and irrigation opportunities for U.S. firms in Chile:
- Chile is fast becoming a top global agricultural producer and exporter due to favorable growing conditions, its ability to grow crops during the Northern Hemisphere’s winter, and its network of free trade agreements.
- However, private Chilean farmers face high energy costs, small land plots, and a long drought. They seek to invest in equipment and services to improve production efficiency and mitigate the effects of climate change.
- Chile imports most of its agriculture/agribusiness machinery and equipment. The United States is the top supplier, and U.S. companies have a reputation for reliability, quality, and innovation.
- Agricultural technologies in high demand include: water management and irrigation systems such as equipment and supplies for efficient irrigation and water distribution; micro-water reservoirs and dams; rainfall harvesters; and water-related measuring devices.
- The launch of Chile’s 5G network at the end of 2021/start of 2022 will allow its agricultural sector to install connected devices that enable efficient resource management.
