Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The increased output is supported by improved yields and mechanization, though the industry faces risks from a strong El Niño, which could increase the likelihood of walnut blight. Maule and O'Higgins are noted as key growing regions contributing to this output.
