Ernesto Pino, general manager of the company in Chile, has explained the scope of the new genetics that are being produced and cultivated to make them available to producers in the near future, explaining each of the potentialities with that the different varieties have, demonstrating their great strength in quality, flavor, firmness and yields of each of them.
The nursery is made up of 60 warehouses installed on 20 hectares, of which 15 are intended for the rooting and fattening of the plants and the rest to offices and connectivity paths between the facilities.
The United States and Chile are the pioneers of the blueberry industry in the world. They were the first, so they have the most experience in all things.
