“Shipping companies are our partners in the export process and we are working in an aligned manner. We are sure that, together, we will be able to adequately face the logistical challenges of the sector. In fact, we are already working on a plan with 12 measures proposed to the government that include actions to improve the management and operation of port terminals during the high season”, emphasized Marambio. Along these lines, he added that "there is no basis that justifies maintaining high prices."

For his part, the president of Fedefruta, Jorge Valenzuela, commented that "according to calculations by the National Society of Agriculture, during the last year, fruit growers paid more than US$635 million extra in maritime transport due to rising costs, so this season we trust that the situation can be reversed, since we cannot continue to exacerbate the logistics crisis”.
