Chilean Avocado: Cultivation and Characteristics
Chilean avocados come from orchards located in the Central Valley, a region blessed with favorable climate and geographic conditions. Chile, the longest and narrowest country in the world, benefits from a unique location with natural borders that create a "phytosanitary island," resulting in a low incidence of agricultural pests. This means that Chilean farmers use fewer pesticides compared to other regions, ensuring a more natural product.
Moreover, Chilean avocados are cultivated in fertile lands at the foothills of the Andes, where the water used for irrigation comes from mountain meltwater. The most advanced irrigation systems, such as drip and micro-sprinkler irrigation, allow for efficient and responsible water use, promoting the sustainable cultivation of this fruit.
The implementation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) by Chilean producers ensures high-quality production, from planting to exportation. This commitment to environmental care and adherence to international standards has made Chilean avocados a global benchmark, with the Hass variety being particularly recognized and certified worldwide.
