Chile has recently been quietly accumulating a significant amount of wealth.
With its unique geographical environment and abundant resources, Chile has become a globally renowned "export powerhouse."
Especially in the export of fruits and salmon, Chile's strength is widely recognized.
To understand Chile's remarkable performance, we must first start with its unique geographical location.
Located at the southernmost tip of South America, adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, Chile enjoys a pleasant climate nestled between mountains and the sea.
Combined with the undulating mountains, rivers crisscrossing the country, and abundant sunshine, Chile has created an excellent environment for the growth of fruits, agricultural products, and seafood.
Chile has extremely rich mineral resources, especially in copper mining, leading the world and bringing pride to the nation.
Furthermore, Chile also possesses abundant tourism resources, often described as a gift from heaven.
With these abundant resources, Chile has become a global export powerhouse without equal.
So, what specific products does Chile export?
For the Chinese, Chilean cherries and blueberries are well-known household names.
Every autumn and winter, large quantities of Chilean cherries and blueberries are transported to China by air or sea, supplying the domestic market with impeccable quality and taste.
Chile is also adept at seizing opportunities.
For example, when Norway faced questioning from China due to salmon quality and quarantine issues, leading to a significant decline in exports, Chile swiftly seized the opportunity and became the primary supplier of salmon to the Chinese market.
Chile is technologically advanced in salmon farming. Through scientific water circulation and temperature control techniques, it has successfully farmed salmon at higher temperatures, breaking traditional norms.
However, we must also turn our attention to China's domestic market.
With years of technological accumulation, China's strength in fruit cultivation and salmon farming continues to grow.
While Chilean cherries and blueberries mature earlier, China's domestic fruit supply can meet the demand.
Furthermore, China has successfully farmed high-quality salmon in Turpan, Xinjiang, and plans to further expand its scale.
In the future, we may witness the emergence of domestically produced Chinese salmon that rivals the quality of sea-farmed salmon.
Chile has also noticed the changes in the domestic market.
In recent years, Chile's export volume and value of fruits and salmon have experienced some fluctuations.
Through these subtle changes, we can see that Chile is facing competition pressure from the Chinese domestic market.
The continuous improvement and substitution of domestic Chinese products will impact Chile's traditional export position.
In the future, the development of China's domestic industry will determine who gains the advantage in this battle.
Compared to relying on traditional advantages of natural resources, China is finding its winning formula through technological innovation.
This export battle may present a strategic confrontation between resource-rich countries and technology-driven countries, and China often provides the best answers.
