This is located in the Atacama Region, one of the key areas for producing Chilean table grapes destined for the U.S. market under the Systems Approach protocol.

The 2025 Chilean table grape season began with optimism among growers, who highlighted the fruit's good quality, and the opportunity to export under the Systems Approach protocol to the U.S.

This first season under the Systems Approach presents significant logistical challenges in Chile and the United States.

This was a milestone for the Chilean industry in addition to the first exports under the same protocol to the United States.

The fruit exported by Subsole arrived at the Port of Philadelphia on the east coast of the United States on Wednesday 18.

Table grape exports will be led by new white and red varieties, with 21.1 million boxes of white grapes and 18.6 million boxes of red grapes, marking the first time that white varieties will surpass red ones in total volume.

Freshfruitportal.com spoke with the commercial manager of Exportadora RIOblanco, Nicolas Damm, who said that currently in the U.S. market, there is room for Peruvian and Chilean fruit.

According to estimates from the regional production sector, approximately 3 million boxes of table grapes are expected to be shipped from Atacama to the United States via Systems Approach.

These shipments are expected to generate returns of $107 million for Chile, especially benefiting producers and regions approved to implement this phytosanitary protocol.

This is the second consecutive season that the Chilean Table Grape Committee expects growth in shipments.
