Chile in the thin-trade third
$87.3B cumulative 2018–2023 ag trade puts Chile in the lightest third of FAO partners here (#39 of 50).
Cumulative 2018-2023 ag trade for Chile is $87.3B, a thin-third book; ordinal swings look large in percent terms even when absolute dollars stay smaller. Even at thin scale, Wine still tops exports and Meat of cattle boneless; fresh or chilled tops imports. US MFN duties follow the product's HTS classification, not origin; Chile-origin shipments may still qualify for preferential Special rates under applicable FTAs.
