The import of prepared or preserved nuts, seeds, and mixes to Chile has experienced considerable fluctuations over the past decade. From an initial volume of 934.04 thousand kilograms in 2013, imports peaked significantly in 2014 before hitting a low in 2015. Subsequent years saw moderate volatility, with notable increments in 2018 and 2021, but slight increases from 2021 to 2023, leading to a volume of 804.78 thousand kilograms in 2023.
Year-on-year variations show major growth between 2013 and 2014, but also steep declines, such as in 2015. The following years witnessed gradual stabilizations with occasional spikes, evidenced by a CAGR of 0.8% over the last five years leading up to 2023. Notably, from 2022 to 2023, the growth was minimal at 1.24%, indicating steadier but slower growth.
Future trends to monitor include forecasted import increases to 856.08 thousand kilograms by 2028, reflecting a projected CAGR of 0.97% from 2024 onwards. This suggests a modest but consistent upward trend. Key factors to watch include global supply chain dynamics, shifting consumer preferences, and potential trade policies affecting imports.
