Chile's agriculture is a significant economic driver, focusing on high-value exports like fruits, wine, and forestry, which fuels strong demand for imported, high-tech farm equipment for automation, water management, and precision agriculture, though local manufacturing is small; the market heavily imports machinery from countries like Italy, the U.S., and Germany to address labour shortages and water scarcity, seeking innovation in traceability, irrigation, and efficient machinery to boost productivity and sustainability.
