Mark your calendars: Wednesday, March 18, starting at 9 a.m. Save the Date!
The event that representatives of the dried fruit industry, especially prunes, cannot miss is coming: the 13th Expo Ciruelas Secas 2026. As always, this expo will provide an in-depth look at the national and international industry from a commercial and technical perspective, thanks to relevant, world-class speakers.
On this occasion, Brad Shuler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sunsweet USA, will be there to offer an overview of the Californian industry, one of the four major global producers of this spectacular fruit, alongside Chile, France, and Argentina.
In addition, we cannot fail to mention figures who have left their mark on previous events and who, for this reason, are returning to this congress: business director Sebastián Valdés, who will discuss Chinese supply and demand; and Juan Pablo Sotomayor, production manager at Frutexsa, who will give his eagerly awaited presentation on “Seasonal production analysis.”
Approximately 450 people are expected to attend, including producers, processors, and exporters, as well as suppliers and guests from the Argentine prunes sector.
Don’t miss out on this event, which, as is tradition, will be held at the Monticello event center in San Francisco de Mostazal, VI Region, and hosted by the Chilean Association of Dried Plum Processors and Exporters, Chileprunes, currently led by its president Pedro Pablo Díaz.
Chileprunes invites you to take an active part in this new event that brings together the world of production, industry suppliers, logistics, and prune exporters. The aim of this activity is to raise awareness of new commercial and technical opportunities that facilitate the work of the industry, discovering new trends in a dynamic and fast-paced market.
