Chile's agricultural sector faces a complex set of challenges due to its extreme longitudinal stretch. In the central valleys, the increasing frequency of erratic hail storms has made the deployment of anti hail net a critical necessity for vineyards and fruit orchards to prevent total crop loss.
Furthermore, the coastal regions struggle with high salinity and humidity, which accelerate the corrosion of traditional metal mesh. This has led to a surge in demand for high-density nylon mesh that offers superior resistance to UV radiation and environmental degradation.
Economically, the shift toward high-export value crops like blueberries and cherries has forced local producers to upgrade from basic fencing to specialized insect proof mesh to meet strict international phytosanitary standards for export to Asia and North America.
