RESUMENLas exportaciones de productos silvoagropecuarios, particularmente las exportaciones de fruta, son uno de los pilares de la economía chilena. En general, el estudio de este tipo de exportaciones en Chile se ha realizado desde una perspectiva nacional, a pesar de la gran diversidad de las condiciones agroclimáticas nacionales. El objetivo del presente artículo es caracterizar la evolución y dinámicas de las exportaciones frutícolas chilenas en la última década, pero desde una perspectiva regional. Para ello se utilizó información de fuentes oficiales, la cual se analizó mediante técnicas de estadística descriptiva y la construcción de diversos índices. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las exportaciones de fruta se concentran en la zona central del país, donde las regiones tienen una mayor participación, así como también una importante oferta de productos frutícolas ofrecidos a diferentes mercados internacionales.

Vegetable production is common in peri-urban agriculture where produce is sold in nearby towns, and the Santiago Metropolitan Region (SMR) in Chile is no exception. The objective of this article is to explore the productive, commercial and management strategies of small-scale vegetable growers at the SMR, their attitudes towards their activity, and to identify different profiles. We surveyed in person 170 farmers. The data was analyzed using descriptive and multivariate techniques. Results suggestthat different characteristics and strategies are concomitant to certain attitudes that vegetable growers hold towards key aspects such as innovation or willingness to associate.
