2025 Agricultural Season: Resilience, Collaboration and Results in a Changing Environment

About us

Agrozzi faces the 2025 season with resilience and collaboration, achieving strong results despite challenges.

The 2025 tomato season is in its final stages, and at Agrozzi, we reflect positively on a campaign marked by various climatic and operational challenges, but also by valuable learning, collaboration, and results that allow us to look to the future with optimism.

Thanks to joint efforts with our growers and technical teams, we overcame initial obstacles and maintained operational continuity, ensuring quality, efficiency, and fulfillment of our commercial commitments.

A Promising Winter and a Spring That Demanded Flexibility
Last winter brought a significant increase in rainfall, improving water availability across much of central-southern Chile. However, two intense weather systems in July and August 2024 caused localized impacts, particularly in low-lying areas with slow-draining soils.

During the spring, prolonged rains affected transplant schedules and created challenging conditions for moisture-sensitive crops. Nevertheless, timely corrective actions and technical support allowed us to regain operational momentum and achieve good productivity in most crops.

Tomato Production: Recovery, Quality, and Strong Yields
Tomato, one of our key crops, experienced delays early in the season due to spring rains. Still, once weather conditions stabilized, production progressed well. Our Teno plant has been operating at full capacity during peak months, receiving high-quality raw materials.

We are closing the season with approximately 425,000 tons of raw material received, with good yields and consistent quality, thanks to the commitment of more than 160 tomato growers and the implementation of practices that supported crop development.

This outcome reaffirms the agricultural sector’s adaptability to changing scenarios, as well as the strength of the collaborative business model we promote at Agrozzi.

Mediterranean Fruits: Mixed Results and Valuable Learnings

• Peach: With favorable weather and sufficient chill hours, we met our harvest targets in January and February, ensuring supply for our production lines and customers.
• Apple: The harvest, still underway, has shown good performance in its early stages. A volume close to 250,000 tons is projected, which will be allocated to both juices and purees, depending on customer demand.

Weather conditions during flowering and fruit development included rainfall that affected pollination, particularly in the valleys closer to the foothills. This led to variability in fruit size uniformity and challenges in coloration, especially in early and late varieties. Despite these challenges, thanks to the coordinated efforts between our growers and Agrozzi’s technical team, we have managed to maintain consistent quality standards throughout the entire season.

• Pear: The 2025 pear season in Chile showed a mixed outlook, mainly characterized by a decrease in production, especially in the Packham’s variety, which accounts for the largest planted area in the country. An overall production drop of between 15% and 20% was estimated. This reduction is partly attributed to a loss in yield caused by flower drop during the early stages of the production cycle. For the puree and juice segment, the 2025 projection reached a volume close to 25,000 tons.

Diversification and New Crops: Expanding a Competitive Product Offering

Beyond our traditional crops, this season we added several products to diversify our offering and meet emerging market trends.

Bell pepper, pumpkin, onion, apricot, and plum performed well overall, although dried plum yields slightly decreased due to spring rains. Meanwhile, watermelon, cherry, carrot, blueberry, strawberry, and celery developed favorably, showing positive volume and quality projections.

This diversification not only improves production scheduling but also enhances our responsiveness to evolving customer needs.

At Agrozzi, we deeply value the efforts of every one of our collaborators, growers, and strategic partners who have made the 2025 season a success despite a challenging context.

We remain focused on efficiency, sustainability, and innovation, building a robust, adaptable agri-food chain committed to quality at every step of the value chain.
