The farm is a relatively small, 30-hectare, highly efficient, high-tech ‘early season’ avocado and citrus producer in Chile’s premium fruit-producing valleys. Situated a short distance from the Ocean and the Andes, the farm benefits from dry weather in summer and high temperatures year-round, clean water, and appropriate labour availability.
Fruit production in this operation starts the Chilean avocado season with premium prices, which are highly valued by export companies and local supermarkets, as supply is limited during winter. With limited remaining irrigated agricultural land for avocados in Chile, particularly in this valley, this pleasant property, just a 1-hour drive from Santiago, is a unique and unusual business opportunity.

Globally integrated, Chile has 21 commercial agreements with 58 countries, representing 90% of global GDP. It is an attractive destination for foreign direct investment, providing an excellent business platform with a solid institutional framework and one of the highest ratings in Latin America. Chile remains one of the top economies in the region and is among the 15th largest food exporters. It has also been a world leader in COVID-19 vaccination and will be the first LATAM country to recover from the pandemic economic crisis.
Chile’s strategic location in the Southern Hemisphere allows it to supply off-season products to the Northern Hemisphere markets. Zoo sanitary and phytosanitary safety standards are of a very high level, thanks to geographic barriers and strict border controls. Fruit and vegetable crops can be scheduled to profit from seasons when international prices are higher.
