🇨🇱 Chile – Challenges in Viticulture


About these resources

Perennial fruit production in Chile is strongly shaped by climate variability, particularly in relation to water availability, temperature extremes, and changing pest and disease pressures.

These challenges affect both viticulture and fruit production systems across different regions of the country.


About this course

Chile’s diverse climate conditions, ranging from arid regions with severe water stress to more temperate zones, create varying challenges for perennial crops. Increasing drought frequency and water scarcity are key concerns, requiring new strategies for irrigation, resource management, and long-term sustainability.

This section brings together resources that highlight how production systems can adapt to these conditions through both practical experience and innovation.

In this section, you can explore

  • Climate-related challenges such as drought, water stress, and temperature variability
  • How these conditions affect fruit production systems
  • Strategies to manage water resources and improve resilience
  • Examples of adaptation practices from different production contexts
