As every year, in the month of June AGRO SAN ANTONIO had their harvest of Fukumoto oranges in the fields of La Moyina and San Antonio, in the sixth region of Chile. With the help of a develop harvesting plan and with the support of an excellent team of more than 300 people willing to collaborate with quality production, the feast of orange recollection was done. Despite the work pressure, we always remind our self’s that if we work with joy our oranges will be sweeter and richer.
Once again we reached high standers of quality, with an export rate that exceeded 89%, and a curve caliber accumulated of 83% of the fruit to with 72 caliber. This year all of our fruit that was exported was channeled thru AGRICOM, the main destination was USA.
The transportation of the fruit from the orchards to the Polpaico de Agricom Plant was taken care of by Empresa de Transportes de Don Joaquín Retamales. The harvest fest for AGRO SAN ANTONIO is the culmination of a process that seeks to export the best flavor and color in the world.

Without a doubt if a person visits the orchard of AGRO SAN ANOTONIO from march onward he will be very surprise. Why? Each of the orange plants has a very carful system of “shoring” on the branches that carry the fruit which are close to the soil or uncoupling danger. It should be between 8 or 10 struts per tree. Each shoring is made with bamboo and must be prepare with wire in order to give the shape to provide the support and not damage the structure of the tree. There are almost 400.000 shoring that must be done each year. It has already generated a great experience.
•Our trees are very generous in their production. They even go beyond what their structure allows them, considering also that pruning is done at skirts. We must answer with reciprocity to this generosity. This is why the shoring is done tree by tree, this way to ease the burden and also protect the fruit so it wont be close to the ground.
• It is almost as an artisan work, and from what we have seen, practically unique in its magnitude and depth.
• This practice allows us to maintain our trees healthy and not stress.
• This practice allows us to recover values kilos of fruit per tree.
