Excerpt from The Fruit Industry of Chile The selection of pears and plums seems to be somewhat better, as far as export markets are concerned. Peaches are grown largely for local use or are sold in a canned or dried form. The selection of grapes, melons, avocados, and citrus fruits is also well advanced and in keeping with present market requirements. A.statistical study of the Chilean fruit industry was undertaken for the first time in 1935-36 and the findings published in 1938. Although the results obtained are the best available, they-are said to be incomplete and in many cases inaccurate. Many growers failed to understand the questionnaires that they were asked to fill in, and many failed to classify their fruit according to variety. The figures represent com merciai orchards only or those plantings of more than 100 trees or 1% acres. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
