Briefs Interview with Gerhard Breuer, editor of The Clipper Magazine He’s been writing about the food industry – nuts especially – for nearly four decades. During one of his visits to Chile, we caught up with him and gathered his impressions on the industry and its evolution over time.

“Starting in the nineties, I’ve seen significant changes in the nuts and dehydrated fruit industry. One of the main shifts is that, if years ago this category wasn’t considered healthy (in fact, people thought it contained too much sugar and fat), today, without a doubt, there is great awareness about just how functional and healthy these types of food are”.

Three New Members for ChilePrunes Huertos del Valle, Pampa Sur and Silvestres are the three latest companies to join the Chile Prunes Association, a trade association that now has 14 members. The organization – founded in 2009 with the intention of achieving long-term development within the sector through promotion, opening of new markets, information, technical standards and by rallying the industry around common objectives – now represents over 72% of the prune export industry.

period of time, they have achieved significant growth in the processing and exporting of dried fruit, mainly walnuts, almonds and prunes. Pampa Sur has been devoted to the national and international trade of prunes since 2011, and starting in 2015, they also provide services for dehydration, sorting and packing. Finally, Silvestres S.A. is a company with a long-standing track record in raisins, and this year, they decided to get involved in prunes as well.

Frosts in Mendoza Damage Fruit Trees During September, the Mendoza province in Argentina was struck by recurring frosts that affected a number of fruit trees, mainly ones that were flowering and beginning to show their bloom.

According to local media, the beginning of the season was not very encouraging for agriculture and livestock producers in the southern part of the province, especially for those who work in peaches and prunes, the two sectors struck the hardest by these frosts.

These orchards suffered the full effect

of these low temperatures, which in some cases dropped to as low as -6.9 degrees Celsius in a few specific areas of the Mendoza province.

According to preliminary reports from the Directorate of Agriculture and Climate Contingencies (Dirección de Agricultura y Contingencias Climáticas, DACC), the areas hit hardest by the latest frosts are San Rafael and General Alvear. Despite all of the above, the DACC has stated that this event is still within their foreseen parameters, and therefore the effects are not highly significant.

California and France Boast a Great Harvest this Year Overall, it’s safe to say that Northern Hemisphere harvests have drawn to a positive close.

California is once again seeing yields like the ones they had back in 2015, before 2016’s weather debacle, while in France, production and tonnage are steady as always with high quality sized fruit.

When it comes to French production, points out that yields are being estimated at between 40,000 and 45,000 tons. In terms of fruit size, they are expecting good things, probably around 50 on average. In any case, this will depend on the fresh-dry ratio, but at the closing of this interview, the average size was hovering around 58, with sugar levels at around 25-26° Brix for fresh produce.

In California, the 2017 prune season has been significantly better than last year, with good weather playing a major role in this change. These beneficial conditions lasted all throughout the flowering period and growers are expecting a heavier crop with good-sized fruit.

Chilean Prune 2017 Exports: a Bittersweet Story During the first seven months of the year there was a spike in invoicing due to higher production volumes, but prices by caliber have dropped compared to 2016, not to mention the negative effects brought on by an everdecreasing exchange rate.

The numbers reveal that the market is paying less for this fruit compared to the previous year given that the growth in volume (tonnage) is greater

than the percentage of increased returns ($). Plus, “we have to analyze the composition of the both years’ yields, which are totally different. The average size this year is 76 units/pounds versus 89 in 2016. Therefore, although the average price only dropped from 2.25 to 2.24 USD/KG, the real situation indicates a much sharper price drop per caliber in 2017”, says Andrés Rodríguez, executive director of Chile Prunes.

The Return of a “Classic”: Expo Ciruelas Secas (Prune Trade Show) On November 8th, 2017, the Casino Monticello Convention Center will play host to one of the world’s most important congresses for our industry: Expo Ciruelas Secas (Prune Trade Show). Organized by Chile Prunes, the event extends an invitation to growers, consultants, managers, exporters and the entire industry value chain to be the stars of this gathering as exhibitors or partners.

Rancagua, with presentations by national and foreign experts, as well as training workshops on technical management, pruning, nutrition, pesticide use and international regulations, among other topics.

Every two years we would present issues of interest for a growing industry and that has only become stronger, with Trade Show attendance surpassing 200 people. For this very reason, starting in 2017, we will begin holding the event every year.

This is one of the most “classic” events for prunes in Chile. The first congress was held back in 2008 in

Chile has over 70 years of experience growing European prunes, and today it is the number one exporter in the world.

verall, it’s safe to say that Nor thern Hemisphere harvests have drawn to a positive close. California is once again seeing yields like the ones they had back in 2015, before 2016’s weather debacle, while in France, production and tonnage are steady as always with high quality sized fruit.

The Northern Hemisphere’s main producers are the United States and France, followed by smaller volumes from Serbia and Italy. The countries leading the market in the Southern Hemisphere are Chile and Argentina, followed to a lesser degree by Australia and South Africa.

When it comes to French production, Jean-Luc Jagueneau, president of Maître Prunille and

current chairman of the International Prune Association (IPA , which represents the worldwide prune industry), points out that yields are being estimated at between 40,000 and 45,000 tons.

In terms of fruit size, they are expecting good things, probably around 50 on average. In any case, this will depend on the fresh-dry ratio, but at the closing of this interview, the average size was hovering around 58, with sugar levels at around 25-26° Brix for fresh produce, “which confirms my forecast of about 50 caliber for the entire production”.

Over the past 10 years, France has steadily plateaued at around 14,000 hectares (34,550 acres), with yields that go from 40,000 to 50,000 tons of prunes.

Back to Normal In California, the 2017 prune season has been significantly better than last year, with good weather playing a major role in this change. These beneficial conditions lasted all throughout the flowering period and growers are expecting a heavier crop with goodsized fruit.

According to information obtained from industry sources in California, all signs are indicating that after the sharp downturn experienced in 2016, prune yields in this part of the world will be bouncing back this season. Production should be approximately 105,000 short tons, in other words, 95,000 metric tons, which are practically the same numbers obtained back in 2015.

According to these same sources, exact numbers are still unclear as the harvest came in late. Dryers opened in mid-August. With all that said, proper winter rains helped keep trees strong and healthy, while summer has had plenty of nice, warm days.

In California, the 2017 prune season has been significantly better than last year. Production should be approximately 105,000 short tons, in other words, 95,000 metric tons, which are practically the same numbers obtained back in 2015.

08

These estimates match the report issued by the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), where the aforementioned 105,000 short tons represent more than a 100% increase compared to the 51,000 tons reported in 2016. It is important to recall that in the United States, weather issues, mainly rain, frost and strong winds during pollination season, had dire effects on prune orchards, cutting down yields during last year’s second semester.

Total 2017 bearing acreage is estimated at 44,000 acres (17,800 hectares), 2% below the previous year.

Moreover, the French prune variety accounts for virtually all dried plum acreage grown in California.

This forecast is based on a survey with prune growers carried out by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) between May 9th and May 31st, 2017. The questionnaires were answered by 217 different producers.

John Amarel of Reason Farms in Yuba City stated to GrowingProduce.com that the 2017 harvest has been pretty good. “This year we have an average crop on the older trees and the younger trees seem to have a slightly better than average crop. We did not have too heavy of a crop where we needed to shaker-thin to maintain size�

First seven months of the year

Chilean Prune 2017 Exports: a Bittersweet Story During the first seven months of the year there was a spike in invoicing due to higher production volumes, but prices by caliber have dropped compared to 2016, not to mention the negative effects brought on by an ever-decreasing exchange rate.

F

or prunes, the first seven months of the 2017 season have exhibited a contrast between invoicing and prices according to statistics from Chile Prunes and the Office of Agriculture Studies and Policies (Odepa), a department of the Ministry of Agriculture.

On one hand, in terms of volume, exports went from 32.8 thousand tons during the first seven month of 2016 to 40.7 thousand tons in the same period this year, which represents a 24% increase from one year to the next. This added up to US$ 91.2 million (FOB) in invoicing for the 2017 January-July period, while last year it was only US$ 78 million, a 16.8% improvement on export value.

Yet these numbers reveal that the market is paying less for this fruit compared to the previous year given that the growth in volume (tonnage) is greater than the percentage of increased returns ($). Plus, “we have to analyze

The average size this year is 76 units/pounds versus 89 in 2016. Therefore, although the average price only dropped from 2.25 to 2.24 USD/KG, the real situation indicates a much sharper price drop per caliber in 2017”, says Andrés Rodríguez, executive director of Chile Prunes.

the composition of the both years’ yields, which are totally different. The average size this year is 76 units/pounds versus 89 in 2016. Therefore, although the average price only dropped from 2.25 to 2.24 USD/KG, the real situation indicates a much sharper price drop per caliber in 2017”, says Andrés Rodríguez, executive director of Chile Prunes.

We also have to add the weakness of the US dollar, which has plummeted 45 pesos this year, a situation that affects the entire fruit export sector. “Due to all of the above, we have to be very cautious in our 2017 forecast”, according to the executive.

Size Considerations When it comes to the caliber of Chilean prunes, in 2017, over 50% of them where in the 50/60, 60/70 and 70/80 ranges. The average size estimate for the industry based on gauged kilos up to May, 2017 is around 75.

When a producer reaches an average caliber of 80, it means that half of the harvest will be smaller than 80, which lots of fruit reaching levels of even 120-140, always keeping in mind that small

fruit is a burden for worldwide prune yields.

Everyone who was in attendance at last year’s World Prune Congress organized by the IPA and Chile Prunes received a clear message. Higher yields per acre produce a greater percentage of small fruit (80 caliber and smaller). Growers need to understand just how vulnerable they are to the oversupply of small fruit and must understand how to mitigate their risk and maximize revenue by becoming producers of high value fruit.

On that occasion, Joe Turkovich, grower and chairman of the California Dried Plum Board said that “growers and processors cannot blindly insist upon a strategy that strives to maximize production at the expense of quality, because small fruit quickly surpasses the limited global demand that exists in the market. Prices drop dramatically, creating a domino effect that drags prices down for all sizes”.

The chairman believes we have to ask ourselves the following question: would you rather have a big, sweet 50 caliber prune or a small 90 caliber one? If your answer is 50, then why produce 90 caliber fruit? Do you actually think that everyone else prefers the taste of pits and skin instead of a sweet, tasty fruit?

Business Opportunity in the Russian Food Sector It’s time to highlight opportunities for prunes in Russia, one of the six main destinations for our exports and number one for many years.

I

n late July, a Chilean delegation led by the general director of International Economic Relations, Paulina Nazal, and joined by several different ministries and the private sector, participated in the IX Chilean-Russian Intergovernmental Commission for Trade and Economic Cooperation.

Aimed at continuing to stimulate economic ties between Chile, Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU), which also includes Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Armenia, on this occasion the food sector was represented by the Chairman of the Food Export Council,

Felipe Sandoval, and Andrés Rodríguez, a council member and Executive Director of Chile Prunes.

During his presentation, Mr. Rodríguez stated that “with our supply of nuts and dehydrated fruit, seafood, olive oil, dairy, meat and fresh fruit, among others, we can be an important supplier for your diet”. It is worth noting that Russia is one of the six main destinations for our prune exports and was number one for many years”

Gerhard Breuer, editor of The Clipper Magazine

This Industry Needs to Gamble on New Formats and Messages for Young Families He’s been writing about the food industry – nuts especially – for nearly four decades. During one of his visits to Chile, we caught up with him and gathered his impressions on the industry and its evolution over time.

I

’m not the director anymore, because my son is in charge of that; he’s my boss now jokes Gerhard Breuer, editor of The Clipper magazine. Through a series of different positions, he has consolidated the leading position held by this magazine in the world of nuts and dehydrated fruit thanks to their countless articles on production and consumption trends, science and technology, commercialization and business strategies.

“Starting in the nineties, I’ve seen significant changes in the nuts and dehydrated fruit industry. One of the main shifts is that, if years ago this category wasn’t considered healthy (in fact, people thought it contained too much sugar and fat), today, without a doubt, there is great awareness about just how functional and healthy these types of food are”.

What is your overall opinion of prunes?

Let’s put it this way…it’s not a “love story”. Why? We’ve always seen prunes as a product aimed at senior citizens, although that has changed through efforts that have been made to turn them into a more appealing product thanks to their multiple health benefits. I know that Chile has and still plays an active part in these promotional efforts.

014

Do you think the prune industry needs more marketing activities targeted at importers and consumers?

In general, for the end consumer – and I’ve seen evidence of this – dehydrated fruit is not visually appealing. I think the future lies in the added value that can be attributed to prunes. There are formats out there that can attract new consumers, especially younger people.

In the world

On the other hand, I know that Chile along with some other countries are doing research on just how healthy this product is, and I can state with absolute certainty that showing functional benefits backed by scientific evidence is going to make the product more appealing. I think people need this evidence because the mere message that prunes are healthy just because their industry says so is not enough.

W he n he alt hy t hing s have scientific support, people are more willing to consume them and put their aesthetic concerns aside.

What marketing campaigns have you seen that we could learn from?

One that comes to mind is about kiwis. When markets opened in Germany, it was an odd fruit from China, but it was being grown in New Zealand, and during a launch activity, a lady from the public relations agency said: “The kiwi is parted with a knife and then eaten with a spoon”. That’s the straightforward concept they milked, simplicity. They found the practical side and that was the initial nudge needed by a product that

in and of itself was strange and unattractive-looking.

Someone in New Zealand had the presence of mind to understand how kiwis had to be promoted and eaten; a simple message that connected with the end consumer.

That’s why I make the analogy and say you have to find something akin to “just peel it and eat it with a spoon”.

How do you increase consumption?

I recall back in 2010 p e o p l e we r e t a l k i n g about over-supply instead of how to engage the consumer and increase consumption levels. I see lots of opportunities to connect with new generations, to address young families where both parents work and don’t have much time to prepare meals for their kids. With prunes, they’ll have a versatile product that is ready for consumption.

How do you see the prune industry in 2017 and in the mid-term future?

Statistics are clear: the prune industry looks stable. I think that, through promotion, consumption could be boosted significantly

His Roots Gerhard Breuer has been writing about food products since the seventies, but it was in the late nineties that he decided to create The Clipper after leaving The Cracker, which was published in conjunction with INC. What is the meaning behind the magazine’s name? No relation according to Mr. Breuer. A clipper is a wooden vessel with three or more masts that first appeared in the XIX century and were known for their great speed. They were the ships used to trade between North America and India, carrying tea and food. “When we stopped working at The Cracker, we had to find a new name; and because of the way it sounded and its association to merchant

ships used to transport food, we thought it was a good idea to call it The Clipper”.

The magazine, which publishes four issues a year, is available in 80 countries, including faraway lands like Bolivia and Zambia, where they have as few as a single subscriber. Most issues – around one third – go to Europe, with South America as their second most relevant destination. Another important destination is the Middle East, with countries like Iran and the United Arab Emirates. “In general, I have to travel a lot and my schedule is pretty bizarre. I can be in Chile one day and in Iran the next”, adds Breuer.

Fadei, the result of the ideal equation Prune pitting machine stands out in quality, technology, precision and high production capacity.

F

adei S.A. is a company with more than 30 years of experience, and a tradition in high technology and modern engineering for diverse industries, among others, the food, where it offers a high quality and precise pruning of prunes, as well as a strong production capacity.

In addition, in order to enjoy the benefits of Fadei prune pitting machines, it´s not necessary to incur any type of contract that generates economic dependence sustained over time, without the possibility of other alternatives to any additional requirements.

“Specifically, with a bank lease - something similar to the leasing system of old machines - there is the great advantage that the user becomes the ultimate possessor of the machine at the end, which in turn ends up, regardless of the big difference in the quality and efficiency of the taxiing, at a cost less than half of the rent, “says Juan Carlos Morsucci, president of Fadei.

For this and other technical reasons - adds the executive - is that most of the detonating producers around the world, for more than a decade, began to replace the systems of more than 70 years with the latest technology

016

offered by Fadei , and that year by year is innovating in new improvements.

Since the incursion of Fadei and the new technology with implementation of electronics devices, productions are guaranteed up to more than two and a half times the old machines, not to mention the relevant differences in the quality of the finished product, given by the very high precision of these machines, and that lead to more and more producers going from the old to the new technology.

Fadei has a policy of permanent attention of its customers in different countries where its machinery is present.

To assist its Chilean and Argentinean users, for a year and a half, Fadei has an office and warehouse in Los Andes, which helps to avoid incurring international trade formalities. In turn, “there are specialized technicians with mobility to travel the few kilometers that separate us from our Chilean clients and to be able to assist them at any time of the year,” adds Juan Carlos Morsucci.

It is very important to highlight the “free online” service offered by Fadei for remote technical assistance. For this, it is only necessary to connect

a laptop to the machine that requires assistance, he adds.

All commercial parts that the Fadei pitters has, can be freely purchased by the user in the place that they decide, since there is no obligation to purchase them exclusively through Fadei. “We play to reduce the costs of production, inputs and technical services to producers”

Luksic Educational Foundation

Delivering value to professional Technical Training

T

he Luksic Educational Foundation, founded in 1988

by Andrónico Luksic Abaroa, has among its initiatives the support of the Pascual Baburizza Agricultural Institute (IAPB), a private, non-profit secondar y school that provides medium-level professional agricultural technical training , land of 35 hectares, in the Calle Larga village, Los Andes city, Chile.

Our focus is to support innovative programs and initiatives for the development of generic and specific competencies in the context of the professional Technical Education “, says Gonzalo Valdés Lezana, Executive Director of the foundation.

The IAPB’s educational model was recognized in 2011 by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and D eve l o p m e n t (O E C D) f o r i t s innovative learning environment. In fact, the OECD analyzed 50 Chilean establishments, finally selecting only two: one of them was the IAPB. In order to consolidate itself as an innovative environment institute, the current educational model of the IAPB places the student at the center of the learning process, which is accomplished through the implementation of the Fontán Relational Educational System (SERF) from Basic VII to IV Medium.

The executive says that among his proposals of value are:

a) To prepare its students to insert themselves successfully in the labor field, adding value in the market, either working in companies or undertaking their own projects. b) To facilitate their insertion in the labor market, strengthening in the market the positioning and visibility of their graduates, with a solid imprint based on values and development of soft skills and academic training of technical skills, based on the application of technology and innovation. c) Support and empower families and / or communities, focus on the academic and professional development of their students, to be actors in the development of the project.

Technology Park and Innovation In the current location of the IAPB, in the Calle Larga village, the Luksic Educational Foundation is implementing a “Technology Park”, which will allow the development of various activities that relate the educational world to the productive world.

It will have Tempered Platform Technological Greenhouses to develop hydroponic crops in Nutrient Film Technique (NFT), Floating Root and Growbags, and a Center of Irrigation Technologies, which will allow to know techniques in this area crucial to the region and to observe the mechanics of fluids, in the context of learning; learning by doing.

In addition, it is developing a space for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, called FE L- IN NOVA , based on collaboration between the different educational institutions supported and promoted by the Luksic Educational Foundation, which will allow the s t i mul at ion of cre at i v i t y a s a fundamental component for innovation in the teaching of students and teachers, through the development of skills, knowledge and attitudes for the development of collaborative and interdisciplinary work in relation to the environment
