This little berry has become within the space of a few years one of the jewels of the Chilean range, rapidly spreading over a large part of the country. While initially aimed primarily at the North American market, in fresh or deep-frozen form, it has rapidly conquered other markets such as Europe and now Asia. Boosted by a varietal renewal with plumper, firmer and more colourful fruits, the Chilean blueberry should over the coming years be able to withstand the increasingly strong competition issuing from other Southern Hemisphere countries.
