Broad incumbents

• Dole plc: Global fresh produce incumbent with Chilean sourcing for grapes, stone fruit, apples, and berries. Overlaps with Frusan in fresh fruit export categories but operates at substantially larger scale with multi-region sourcing.
• Driscoll's: Largest global berry marketer with Chilean and Peruvian production, directly competing with Frusan in blueberries and other berries via independent grower networks. Larger scale, broader portfolio, comparable go-to-market through international supermarket chains.
• Fresh Del Monte Produce: Vertically integrated global fresh fruit producer-marketer with bananas, pineapples, melons, grapes, and avocados. Comparable in integrated orchard-to-export model and global supermarket customer base.

Direct peers

• Hortifrut: Chilean-headquartered global berry and fresh fruit producer-exporter, with comparable multi-country grower base, blueberry/cherry focus, and direct supermarket relationships in 50+ markets. Most direct comparable for Frusan's Chilean berry-and-stone-fruit export model.

• Subsole: Chilean fresh fruit producer-exporter with multi-category portfolio (grapes, stone fruit, citrus, kiwis) supplying international retailers. Comparable in scale, geographic reach, and product diversification.
• Mission Produce: Largest US Hass avocado grower-packager-exporter with Chilean and Peruvian production, directly comparable to Frusan's avocado program and vertically integrated cold-chain model.
• Westfalia Fruit: Global avocado and fresh produce supplier with Chilean and Peruvian operations, comparable orchard-to-retail vertical integration and direct supermarket relationships.
• Naturipe Farms: US-headquartered grower-owned marketer of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, and raspberries with significant Chilean production. Comparable in berry export model and supermarket distribution focus.
