Planta Hijuelas

This plant, operational since 2008, is key in the packaging, cooling and storage of fruit grown in the northern area and the V Region.

Throughout the year, Hijuelas processes table grapes from the Aconcagua Valley, the bulk of the citrus program (both from the IV and V regions, as well as the Metropolitan Region), and an important part of the northern area’s avocados.
