The Chilean Grape Committee’s latest estimate for the season came out on Jan. 9, and export volume on table grapes is expected to stabilize at approximately 68 million boxes this season. The ASOEX Table Grape Committee’s projection highlights an increase of 1.2 percent compared to the third forecast delivered by the sector last December, with fresh Chilean grapes reaching 67,741,801 boxes and 555,483 tons, according to Karen Brux. managing director of the Chilean Fresh Fruit Association.

The Table Grape Committee of ASOEX (Chilean Fruit Exporters Association) anticipates exporting 555,483 tons, equivalent to 67.742 million (8.2-kilogram) boxes, for the 2022-23 season. This is a 1.2 percent increase from the previous forecast — though still down nearly 9 percent from the 2021-22 season, largely the result of varietal replacement within the table grape industry in Chile.

Chilean table grapes forecast is projected 10% lower, with a 2.5% decrease compared to the entity's second estimate.

For the upcoming season, Chile will send 36,251,172 boxes of new varieties and 19,513,322 boxes of traditional varieties.
