Chile sets sights on own cherry varieties

Chile sets sights on own cherry varieties December 22 , 2020 Chile is betting on launching its own cherry varieties in the future thanks to the work done by the INIA-BioFrutales Cherry Genetic Improvement Program. Among the achievements, a Rainier-type selection known as “Selection 21” stands out. The cultivar could strengthen the early cherry production zones in Chile and would expand the export offerings in China. The project was started in 2010 by INIA Rayentué in O’Higgins and the BioFrutales Organization (to which Fedefruta belongs) with the support of Corfo. It currently has 16 advanced options for cherries, all with the potential to transform into the first varieties 100 percent developed in Chile.

Chile is getting closer to developing its own cherry varieties The INIA-Biofrutales Cherry Genetic Improvement Program is getting closer and closer to obtaining the first cherry varieties that are 100% developed in Chile. The results of the investigation, which began in 2010, were presented to the Minister of Agriculture Antonio Walker, and to the regional authorities of CORFO, Agriculture, and the Economy. At the moment, the program has 16 candidate selections to become new varieties. The most outstanding variety so far is Selection 21, a bicolor variety of the Rainier typology, but firmer, with a good postharvest and less cold requirement, which would allow producing it in areas further north, such as Valparaiso and Coquimbo, and could strengthen the offer of this varietal group in the Chinese market.

Chile bets on new cherry varieties Chile’s efforts to develop home-grown varieties of cherries are coming closer to fruition Related Articles The Chilean cherry industry may one day be able to rely on varieties developed entirely in-country with the progress of the INIA-Biofrutales Cherry Genetic Improvement Programme. As the 2020/21 cherry season began to enter full swing, Chilean agricultural authorities were shown some of the Programme s more promising varieties. This included a bi-colour Rainier-type variety (selection 21) with good post-harvest characteristics. It has the potential to be grown as far north as Valparaíso and even Coquimbo, strengthening early cherry production zones and expanding the export offer of this category in China.
