Plum (Ciruela)
By Fru International
Chilean plums are celebrated for their vibrant color, smooth texture, and harmonious blend of sweetness and mild acidity. Cultivated in the country’s productive valleys, the combination of warm daytime temperatures and cool evenings supports optimal sugar accumulation and deep color formation.

Widely recognized varieties such as Angeleno, Larry Anne, and Black Amber perform consistently in international markets thanks to attentive orchard practices and careful post-harvest management. With production taking place in the Southern Hemisphere, Chile plays a strategic role in supplying plums to global buyers during periods when Northern Hemisphere availability declines, reinforcing its importance in the international fruit trade.
