Globally, Chile is recognized as a leading exporter of a variety of foods, including fresh cherries, plums, salmon fillets in both fresh and frozen versions, and jack mackerel.
In the food industry, one of the most important elements is packaging, which is used to preserve nutritional properties and protect food during transportation and storage. In addition to being a food producing country, Chile also has an industry dedicated to the production of packaging. These are not only used by local companies, but are also exported to other countries.
Recently, ProChile’s representative in the Biobío region, Ramón Paredes, visited a leading company in the manufacture of food packaging: Auxiliar Conservera América.
