# Executive Summary

Our new tomato paste production estimates show an increase for MY2007
when compared to both last year and previous estimate. The canning
industry contracted a larger planted area of tomatoes from producers; as
a result total output of tomatoes for processing will increase. Fresh
tomato production is expected to fall slightly.

## For Fresh Consumption

Planting of tomatoes for fresh consumption is not expected to change in
the coming years, as domestic consumption and exports volumes fell
during last season. Exports to Argentina, Chile's main export market
fell mainly due to changes in exchange policy. Industry sources have
indicated that due to changes in varieties of tomatoes that have a
longer shelf life but not as tasty consumers have reduced out of season
consumption of tomatoes. As a result domestic prices fell and
consequently planted area and production were also reduced. Higher
prices for fresh tomatoes during CY2006 are not expected to increase
planted area next season as the price increase during the winter month
was due to a fall of tomatoes produced in greenhouses in the north of
Chile (Arica) as a larger number of producers switched to alternative
crops.

In Chile most tomatoes that go to the processing industry are produced
in the irrigated central valley of Chile. Tomatoes for fresh consumption
are planted throughout Chile from Arica to Tierra del Fuego. Almost
1,500 hectares of tomatoes are planted in greenhouse with
drip-irrigation systems, these are all for fresh consumption.

## For Processing

Total planted area of tomatoes for processing fell significantly since
MY2003, from an estimated 11,000 hectares to only 8,500 in MY2006. In
2007, it increased again as a result a fall in production in the
northern hemisphere, mainly in the US that was affected by adverse
weather conditions resulting in a significant reduction in output.
Industry sources indicated that in the long run planted area is not
expected to vary significantly for the coming years, as the tomato
processing industry is reportedly producing tomato paste for niche
markets and for long-term customers. Presently there are only two
processing industries in Chile that produce tomato paste and these
reportedly have most of their production committed at the time they fix
planting contracts with the farmers. Sources also indicate that in the
long run, planted area and production figures probably will not vary
significantly as the industry is presently producing at more than 85
percent of capacity. Chile's tomato production (planting and processing)
represents less than 4 percent of total world production.

Tomatoes for processing are planted from mid‑September through early
November of each year and harvested from early-mid January through mid
April. During the planting season, frosts are an important limiting
factor in many growing areas. A dry summer, with significant temperature
changes between day and night during the growing season, allows growers
to produce tomatoes with a deep red color. Over 95 percent of tomatoes
harvested for processing are destined for paste production. The tomato
products industry mainly targets the export market.

Tomatoes for industrial purposes are planted in the central area
(Regions V through VII and the Santiago Metropolitan Region).

# Tomato Products

## Canned Tomatoes

Chile produces whole peeled, crushed peeled and diced tomatoes. Trade
figures and PS&D tables include all three products since statistics
contain no product breakout. Most canned tomatoes are produced for
export. Canned tomato production is highly dependent on export demand.
Customers in the domestic or export market normally contract yearly
production. Canned tomatoes are produced mainly for the Latin American
market.

## Tomato Paste

We revised the tomato paste production for MY2006 upwards, as a result
of new information given by industry sources. Moreover, these same
sources have indicated that as a result of good prices and a strong
demand for paste they processed more tomatoes than previously projected.
The industry in Chile contracts tomato plantings and produces paste
according to an expected demand for paste. Farmers plant tomatoes only
by contract with the industry. For MY2007, another increase is expected
as demand and prices are strong due to lower production in the Northern
Hemisphere that has been affected by adverse weather conditions.

The paste industry in Chile mainly produces a 30 to 32 Brix product.
Small amounts are produced with 28 to 30 Brix for the Japanese market.
As a result of industry mergers, sales of processing plants, and joint
ventures with foreign companies, there are now only two players in the
tomato paste industry in Chile today. The two companies are Aconcagua
Foods and Agrozzi. Aconcagua Foods, which used to be Corpora bought
several processing plants over the last few years and also established a
joint venture with a Mexican Company named La Costena, a leading canned
product producer and distribution company. Meanwhile Agrozzi, took
control of Malloa, a tomato processing company that used to belong to
Lever, a multinational company, and became the largest producer in
Chile.

## Tomato Sauce

Tomato sauce production, like canned tomato production, is closely
related to export demand. For this coming season a slight increase in
output is expected as industry expects a stronger foreign demand.

# Production Policy

There are no government subsidies for tomatoes. Most imports are subject
to a fixed general tariff of 6 percent ad valorem. All products pay an
additional 19 percent value added tax.

## 

# Consumption

## Fresh Tomatoes

There are no statistics on domestic consumption in Chile. Usually, we
assume no significant change in domestic consumption, although high
prices due to a smaller supply may reduce consumption some years.
Figures are estimated as a residual of estimated production and export
data.

Shelf life influences which tomato varieties are used in Chile. Improved
shelf life has allowed growers to produce tomatoes in the extreme north
of Chile (Arica) and transport them to major population centers 1,000
miles to the south e.g., Santiago, mainly during the winter season. This
development has permitted a constant fresh tomato supply during the
entire year, contributing to an increase in total fresh tomato
consumption together with a fall in prices over the last few years.
However increased competition from other horticultural products together
with less tastier long shelf life tomatoes is expected to modestly
affect domestic consumption of fresh tomatoes over the next few years.
The most common varieties planted in Chile are Cal-ace, Marmande raf, Ac
55 vf, Early pack, Napoli and Roma.

## Processed Tomatoes

Since Chilean processed tomato production is mainly for the export
market, domestic utilization is fundamentally a residual. As previously
mentioned there are no statistics on domestic consumption

# Trade

## Fresh

Chile\'s fresh tomato exports are tied to export demand. But exports of
fresh tomatoes are not expected to rebound in the short term as was
indicated by an industry contact, mainly due to poor profitability that
is forecasted to continue in 2007, as the Chilean peso gets stronger,
reducing returns to growers. Additionally, shipping costs keep
increasing.

Although Chile can export fresh tomatoes to the U.S., the industry is
not optimistic about that market due to fumigation requirements, which
reduce the products shelf life and the need to ship the product by air
in order to compete in quality with other imports. As a result of
limited space in airfreight and competition for that space with more
profitable commodities, like berries and salmon, fresh Chilean tomatoes
generally are not price - competitive with Mexican tomatoes that are
produced year round closer to the U.S. market.

## Processed

Tomato Paste: Neighboring Latin American countries are Chile's main
export markets. Mexico is the largest market. The two processors
indicated that they normally contract planting areas with farmers to
produce enough tomato paste to supply their export needs. But, when
lower production is expected from the most important tomato paste
producer in the northern hemisphere, the industry increases production
hoping to supply an unsatisfied demand.

Tomato Sauce: The industry has been able to diversify the tomato sauce
export market, which was highly concentrated. Nevertheless most exports
are destined for Latin American countries, whose economies are more or
less stagnant. Consequently, only small increases in exports are likely
in the next few years.

Canned Tomatoes: Although the industry is making a great effort to
expand markets in neighboring Latin American countries, demand for
Chile\'s canned tomatoes has been falling over the last few years.
