Salmonids lose second place on the list of Chile's export products
According to figures from the Chilean customs service, the sector represented 6% of the country's national export income in 2024 and fell to third place behind copper and the fruit sector.
The Chilean aquaculture industry experienced a challenging year in 2024 and lost its position as the country's second largest export sector, behind copper, to fruit. Although salmon and trout are now in third place, Chiler still exported 782,076 tonnes of salmonid products last year.
This represents a 1.4% decrease in revenue and a 0.9% increase in volume compared to 2023.
