The Chile has made many efforts to integrate new agricultural technologies for improving the sector’s efficiency & increasing the land productivity. The high costs & low profits of agricultural production are the major internal inhibitors of country’s agriculture sector. They are also the key factor restricting the growth of farmers’ income and leading to decrease of the labor force in agriculture. Food safety has been a main concern for Chile consumers; especially concerning farm produce for instance grains, vegetables, meat, and seafood. The growing demand for high-quality agricultural products vs. their limited supply eventually results in increased imports. Some major product categories, including dairy foods and soybeans, have been greatly dependent on imports for many years. Other inhibitors to sector’s growth are the ageing workforce with low level of education and underdeveloped rural financial services system. Additionally, The Chile’s government has adopted several multi-year policies, such as an assurance to double farmer incomes and become the self-sufficient in pulses over an indeterminate short-term period.
The Chile government has for decades aggressively supported the agriculture sector through mechanisms for instance fertilizer subsidies, and relaxed lending conditions, amongst others that allows farmers to have a fair opinion of their revenues & plan for the next agricultural season accordingly. Through a network of public institutions & various programs and schemes, Chile’s federal or regional authorities are trying to protect the agricultural producers and increase the production. A number of policy measures have been taken to tackle two major factors: soil and water, which are critical to improving agricultural output.
