ChileCarne

What ChileCarne does

ChileCarne (Asociación de Exportadores de Carnes de Chile A.G.) is a nonprofit trade association founded in 2016 that represents more than 85% of Chilean meat exports. The association operates across four strategic axes: animal health, food safety (inocuidad), sustainability, and foreign trade. Its members collectively export pork and poultry valued at USD 1.177 billion (88% of Chile's total meat exports), reaching 120+ destination markets and making Chile the world's 6th largest pork exporter and the 4th largest food export sector domestically.

The association's core product is not a single technology but a portfolio of coordinated programs organized under ChilePork (the sectoral brand for international pork promotion). Technical programs include BIOREP (ASF biosecurity for importers), Avian Influenza and Porcine Disease Surveillance (coordinated with SAG), the Dioxin/Furan/PCB Monitoring Program (running since 2008), Buena Salud (antimicrobial stewardship aligned with WHO/WOAH/FAO), Animal Welfare (under Chile's Law 20.380), the Wetlands Biosecurity Program (with INDAP), and a Carbon Footprint Quantification Tool (developed with WSP). ChileCarne also operates the Apertura y Mantención de Mercados program, coordinating sanitary habilitations (SAG), trade barrier negotiations (SUBREI), and international promotion (ProChile).

The business model is membership-dues based. ChileCarne generates revenue from fees paid by member companies that collectively dominate Chilean meat exports. Its go-to-market is event-driven and sales-led, focusing on B2B campaigns, HORECA channels, and press activities in primary Asian markets (China, Japan, South Korea), with expansion into Europe via events like SIAL Paris. The association does not sell products or services directly; instead, it functions as a public-private coordination platform that creates collective value through market access facilitation, sanitary status preservation, and coordinated international brand promotion.
