<p>Informal economy is particularly prevalent in small-scale farming, yet little attention has been paid to it so far. This article aims to contribute to a further understanding of this phenomenon. A survey of family farmers located in the Metropolitan Region of Santiago, Chile, was conducted. The data collected were processed using descriptive and multivariate techniques, factor and cluster analysis. Results show that farmers perceive formalization as a complex process which entails unpleasant obligations, and that they do not consider it necessary. There are some distinctions, however, that allow two clusters to be identified: “Favorable” (18.82 %) and “Reluctant” (81.18 %).</p>

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.
