With a remarkable turnout and an intense day of networking, analysis and exchange of experiences, AgroTrade & AgroNight Chile 2026 once again consolidated itself as one of the main meeting spaces for the fruit and nursery industry in the country.

The day featured the special hosting and participation of Channel 13 meteorologist Michelle Adam, who joined the group at the opening of the event, providing an overview of climate trends and the challenges facing agriculture in an increasingly changing environment.

During the meeting, more than 300 attendees from Chile and abroad participated in a series of conversations focused on the challenges and opportunities facing fruit farming in a dynamic and highly competitive global context.

The importance that AgroTrade & AgroNight Chile has acquired for the sector was highlighted by the president of Viveros de Chile, Franco Sannazzaro, who pointed out that this meeting has become a key instance for the development of the national nursery and agricultural industry.

“This is a meeting that is already becoming fundamental, crucial for the development of the nursery industry and agriculture in general. It is the moment when nursery owners from all over the country come together to learn about the latest technology, innovation, and new varieties, because it is from here that many of the opportunities that producers will later have originate,” he emphasized.

For his part, the Director General of ProChile, Ignacio Fernández, valued the importance of creating spaces that connect the national offer with international markets.

“Our goal is to connect domestic supply with international demand. Events like this are very important for bringing opportunities closer, building relationships, getting to know each other, and continuing to increase exports,” he stated.

Both authorities agreed on the importance of strengthening collaboration between the various actors in the production chain, promoting innovation, opening markets and developing new opportunities for Chilean agriculture.

Among the highlights were the panel discussions on plant genetics and nuts. The genetics panel addressed one of the most strategic issues for the future of the sector, emphasizing the importance of innovation, varietal replacement, and the development of new alternatives for a more competitive and sustainable fruit-growing industry.

Meanwhile, the panel “Nuts: An alternative to cherries?” generated an interesting debate on the potential of species such as European hazelnut, walnut, almond and pistachio, as well as the opportunities that these crops represent for the productive diversification of Chilean agriculture.

The day culminated with AgroNight Chile, a networking event that strengthened ties, generated new business opportunities, and continued building community around the development of a more innovative, competitive, and sustainable agriculture.
