Avocado
Chile has been growing commercial varieties of avocado for almost 100 years, but avocado cultivation began to increase dramatically in the late 1980s due to growing demand from world markets.
Chile continues to grow other varieties marketed in the country, but most production has shifted to the Hass variety.
Over 99% of the avocado exported from Chile is Hass. Chilean avocados of this type are available year-round.
