In early August 2026 Chile intensified efforts to broaden its export base across multiple sectors. On 5 August, ProChile convened the Regional Export Council for Magallanes, bringing together tourism operators, wool and lamb producers, and commercial attachés from the United States and India. Participants identified short‑ and medium‑term actions such as training tour operators for Indian visitor preferences, improving promotional tools for Chilean tourism, and capitalising on emerging demand for wool and lamb meat in India.

The following day, 6 August, Chilean fisheries groups turned to value‑added production and new markets. Artisanal fishing unions from Quellón toured successful coastal models in the Coquimbo, Valparaíso and O’Higgins regions to learn about processing upgrades and denomination‑of‑origin schemes. Simultaneously, the Chiloé‑based aquaculture firm Landes Mussels reported its seventh sustainability report, noting recent approval to export mussels to Russia, continued expansion in the United States, and ongoing environmental initiatives.

Together, these activities illustrate a coordinated push by Chilean public agencies and private firms to diversify export destinations—targeting the United States, India, and Russia—and to move beyond raw‑material sales toward higher‑value, sustainably produced goods in tourism, livestock, and aquaculture.
