Chilean Fruit Arriving at Ports

Peaches, nectarines, plums and table grapes from Chile are now arriving at ports by boat on both the East and West coasts.  That fruit is distributed all over North American via truck.   The stone fruit arrivals should start arriving in larger volume by the end of January….The heaviest volume for grapes should begin by late January as well and continue through March, when a seasonal decline will start, with the season ending by May.

The East Coast ports at Wilmington, N.C. and Philadephia receive a majority of the Chilean produce.  The primary port on the West Coast is at Long Beach, CA.
