What Oficina de Estudios y Políticas Agrarias Odepa does

ODEPA (Oficina de Estudios y Políticas Agrarias) is a Chilean government agency operating under the Ministry of Agriculture (MINAGRI), headquartered at Teatinos #40, Piso 7 in Santiago. It was founded in 1992 and employs 51-100 staff. The agency generates, analyzes, and disseminates market information, price data, agricultural statistics, and policy analysis for Chile's silvoagropecuario sector (agriculture, forestry, and livestock), serving agricultural producers, exporters, policymakers, and the general public. All services are provided free of charge as a public information utility, funded through the Chilean national budget.

The agency's core technical stack centers on a data collection, analysis, and publication platform comprising five main product pillars: the Digital Library (Biblioteca Digital), the Open Data Portal (Datos Abiertos), interactive Power BI dashboards (including the Agrogénero visualizer and Tablero de Fertilizantes), market monitoring systems providing weekly price and import tracking for wheat, dairy, beef, and other commodities, and the SIPEC Apícola national beekeeper registry. It also publishes periodic bulletins (daily, weekly, monthly) and coordinates 13 national sector commissions covering wheat, corn, rice, dairy, viticulture, fruits, and other subsectors, plus over 80 measures under the ENSSA food security strategy spanning 55 institutions.

ODEPA's go-to-market is purely institutional rather than commercial. Distribution operates through the official website (odepa.gob.cl), the digital library, open data portal, Radio MINAGRI audio content, a two-tier newsletter subscription system, and toll-free telephone support. It maintains strategic partnerships with sister Chilean agencies (INDAP, SAG, CONAF, CNR, FIA, INIA, CIREN, FUCOA, IICA) and is currently expanding international cooperation under the 2026-2030 Chile-New Zealand Strategic Agricultural Arrangement. María Emilia Undurraga serves as Director.
