Core offering

Sociedad Nacional de Agricultura is a private, membership-based agricultural guild association representing Chilean agricultural producers and farmers. It offers member services including the monthly Boletín Cereales publication, economic indicators for cereals (corn, wheat, rice), climate monitoring across all 16 Chilean regions, agricultural training through its SNA EDUCA subsidiary, advocacy and policy representation, and agrotech innovation support through the Conectagro platform and Cowork SNA space. The organization is funded primarily through membership dues and operates five wholly-owned operating subsidiaries spanning education, rural development, events, biotechnology, and agricultural media.

Product overview

Sociedad Nacional de Agricultura (SNA) is Chile's oldest and most prominent agricultural guild organization, established in 1830. Rather than a technology company, SNA operates as a gremial association serving the agricultural sector. Its offerings include publications (Boletin Cereales, agricultural manuals), economic indicators for agricultural commodities (corn, wheat, rice), and climate/weather information for Chile's agricultural regions. SNA also manages several subsidiaries: SNA EDUCA (education), CODESSER and FISA (service organizations), BIOGENES (biotechnology), and AGRICULTURA radio station. Additionally, SNA promotes agricultural innovation through initiatives including the Conectagro collaborative platform, the Crea y Valida regenerative agriculture project, water management models, agrotech coworking spaces, and leadership development programs.
