Blueberries are often at the top of the list for healthy diets and foods rich in vitamins and antioxidants.  The fresh blueberries we enjoy today come from outside of North America for half the year.  The North American high-bush blueberry harvest season takes place from April through October.  Farmers in South America begin harvesting blueberries right as the North American season winds down.  To keep menus fresh and interesting year-round, chefs count on shipments of South American blueberries.

Chile is in the lead when it comes to in providing a consistent supply of fresh blueberries of the highest quality and safety.  Chile produced 81% of all Southern Hemisphere blueberries in 2014, far ahead of Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and Uruguay.  Currently, Chile is ranked as the largest producer of farm-grown blueberries in the Southern Hemisphere and second largest in the world.  

Chile is naturally protected from agricultural pests and is considered to be a “good phytosanitary island” because of its natural barriers, such as the Atacama Desert in the North, the Pacific Ocean to the West, the Andes Mountains to the East, and the frozen expanse of the Antarctic to the South.  Chile has excellent soil conditions, climate, and water.  These conditions also make Chile Blueberries more than welcome in fruit and food-service industry. 

Winn Universal's direct supply from Chile growers adds even more satisfaction towards the hearts of both Chinese and American consumers.
