**Prepared by:**

Luis Hennicke, Agricultural Specialist

**Report Highlights:**

As a result of a strong export demand the largest Chilean pork producers
are expanding production by increasing the number of sows. Production is
expected to expand an estimated 26 percent in 2007, but only 7 percent
in 2008, as a result of a slowdown in expansion. Imports also are
expected to grow, as exports of pork are likely to outgrow production
expansions.

# Executive Summary

Chile's pork industry has based its development on the geographic
isolation that has been fundamental to keep an animal disease free
environment. Economic stability, along with an open market strategy, has
encouraged investments that have had a positive effect on the quantity
and quality of production. There is a strong focus on controlling the
production process to meet buyer specifications. Pork production has
grown extraordinarily during the last decade. This production expansion
is mainly due to increases in efficiency.

# Production General

Chile's economic stability and expansion has spurred a continuous
increase in meat consumption over the last decade. An average annual GDP
growth rate of over 6 percent during the last 18 years and per capita
income that has increased three times has positioned Chile as one of the
fastest growing economies in the western hemisphere. As a result meat
consumption and production has expanded significantly.

The most impressive growth has occurred in poultry. Beef consumption
also has increased but production has not kept pace with rising
utilization. Consequently, Chile has become a significant beef importer.
The MERCOSUR member countries currently are the main suppliers of beef
in Chile. But as a result of successfully finalizing negotiations with
the Chilean Health Authorities we expect beef imports from the United
States in the coming years.

Pork production and consumption also has been increasing steadily for
the last decade. Per capita consumption has increased from 12 Kg in 1995
to 20.9 Kg in 2006. Exports also have grown since 1995. The latest
statistics show that Chile possesses a total population of 2.3 million
pigs up from 1.5 million in 1995.

# Pork

## Production

Chile's pork production has expanded tremendously during the last two
decades, from 66 thousand metric tons in 1985 to 467 thousand metric
tons in 2006. Its production expansion and efficiency is a result of a
privileged sanitary environment with favorable climatic conditions.

In Chile, the pork industry is very efficient, highly concentrated and
vertically integrated. The Pork Producers Association only has 40
members out of 140 producers, but these members produce 92% of the total
domestic production. Almost 75 percent of Chile's pork production is
concentrated among 5 large pork packers, of which Agrosuper accounts for
65 percent of total production, followed by Friosa at 15 percent and
Valledor accounting for 8 percent. The largest five producers, members
of the Association, are vertically integrated. Vertical integration has
enabled producers to maintain a strict level of product traceability
throughout the process and ensuring product safety, quality and
reliability from the production site to the final consumer. Large
investments to incorporate state-of-the-art technology that strengthen
sanitary and production efficiency levels, as well as an aggressive
campaign to expand export markets through the implementation of free
trade agreements, are the main factors that explain the Chilean pork
industry's success. Only an estimated 3 percent of total pork production
comes from the so-called non-industrial operations.

Close to 97 percent of the pork producers are located in two Regions,
Region VI (Rancagua) with almost 68 percent of total production and the
Metropolitan Region (Santiago) where 29 percent is produced. Agrosuper's
main operation is concentrated in Region VI with 75% of the total number
of pigs.

Industry expects pork production to increase as export demand will
continue to grow. Increases in production in Chile will be due to an
increase in the number of sows maintained by the largest operations. As
a result of increased economies of scale, production costs are expected
to continue to fall, which will allow these producers to export part of
this production expansion. Additionally, since they are integrated
vertically, these companies can transfer their cost efficiencies into
the price of the final product, thus stimulating consumption of certain
cuts by offering especially competitive prices.

A significant increase in the number of sows is expected in the next 5
years as the main producers are going trough a significant increase in
their operations. From the present 235 thousand sows, an industry
official has indicated that they expect to have an estimated 491,000
sows in production by the year 2010. As a result pork meat production is
expected to increase over 100 percent by the year 2010. An estimated 858
thousand metric tons of pork meat production is expected in 2010.

## Consumption 

Domestic pork consumption has expanded significantly in the last 20
years, from 6.1 Kg per capita consumption in 1986 to 20.9 Kg in 2006.
Leaner pork meat, an extensive and aggressive generic marketing
campaign, lower prices and increased disposable income are many of the
reasons for the significant increase in domestic consumption during the
last 20 years.

## 

## Trade

### Exports 

Chilean pork exports have grown significantly during the last decade,
from 2,755 MT in 1995 to over 129,000 MT in 2006. The main destinations
for Chilean pork are Japan and South Korea.

Industry officials indicate that trade agreements and the higher
sanitary conditions for the pork production are Chile's main comparative
advantage in gaining market access. Chile is free of the main diseases
that affect pig production and the strict regulatory controls and
sanitary restrictions carried out by the Agricultural and Livestock
Service (SAG) throughout the production chain, provide a national
sanitary framework that prevents the introduction of diseases, which has
allowed Chile to access many different markets.

Until recently the Pork Industry's main objective was to satisfy
domestic demand. Realizing the good quality of their product and
supported by Chile's open market and export promotion policies, the
industry has turned its attention to the export markets.

### Imports

## 

Industry sources reported that pork imports would increase in the coming
years, as domestic and export demand outstrips production. The opening
of the US market for Chilean pork is expected to contribute to increase
Chilean exports. This is expected to create a deficit for the Chilean
sausage industry, which is not vertically integrated, i.e. most of them
does not produce swine and/or own a slaughterhouse. The sausage industry
needs a constant supply of pork imports. As a result of increased c
prices during the last 4 years for domestic input, the processing
industry is increasingly turning towards imports to assure a constant
supply. Currently, only certain cuts are imported (boneless and
bellies), as these products are destined for the processing industry
(sausage). Canada has been the main supplier of pork for the sausage
industry. But new market access for US pork products is expected to
replace some Canadian imports. Like Canadian product, US product can now
enter duty free.

An industry source indicated that imports would be much larger if price
were the only factor to consider in an import transaction. However since
the export market is so important, imported ingredients must comply with
highest sanitary conditions. Pork product imports can only come from
countries that have similar or better sanitary conditions than Chile.

Imports from MERCOSUR (Brazil and others), the EU, Canada and United
States do not pay duty as a result of the existing trade agreements.
Imports from all other origins pay a 6 percent duty.
