Chile currently ranks second among the main exporters globally. The 125 thousand tons harvested last year marked a record that will be surpassed again with an increase of 20% in the year 2019.

In this market of positive trends there are some challenges to which the Chilean exporters of nuts must face and which undoubtedly were discussed in the last edition of EXPONUT where TOMRA Food was present. So Paola Arévalo, Commercial Manager of TOMRA Food Chile said: "I believe that one of the most important challenges of our nut exporters is the price speculation to the downside, lower than expected. The reason? The war of prices derived from the stock growth generated in Chile. The Chilean market is increasingly competitive in terms of production and quality costs, making it the key element to differentiate itself from other producers. "

The quality, differentiating element. Betting on technology, but always understanding the product
The best of the challenges is that they can become opportunities for those able to do things differently. Thus, companies seeking a clear competitive advantage can incorporate technological innovations in their operational processes capable of making a significant difference in the final result, offering a higher quality product.

Clearly, one of the most important stages in the process of nuts to improve that quality is the selection of the product. The nut processors seek to eliminate the remains of peels to offer peeled and clean nuts. At the same time, the level of demand for the color and shape of the nuts has increased.

TOMRA Food, which has been accompanying the technological development of walnut processors in Chile for more than 18 years, has much to contribute in this regard. And it is that the Chilean nut, to the being a natural product, has characteristics and defects different from those of the nuts of the USA, China or of other parts of the world. This means that the classification solutions are not "standard" products but must be adapted to the specificities of each country.
"In TOMRA Food we know in depth the Chilean market. We have been working hand in hand with the most important nut processors in the market for many years. We understand your needs, we develop solutions that fit your requirements and the demand of the markets to which our customers export.
In this way we achieve an increase in product quality that is essential for the success of our customers, "says Paola Arévalo. "Thus, we have several customers who have seen as a competitive advantage to invest in our selection teams to improve the quality of their final product, not only installing 1 machine, but sometimes 2 or even 3 cascading. Through a correct combination of our different TOMRA technologies, they are offering nuts with the highest quality standards, being able to compete in the most demanding international markets ", points out Paola Arévalo.

TOMRA Food solutions, proven efficiency
TOMRA Food offers different solutions to the needs of customers. The latest development for the nut market is the Nimbus BSI +.
In the words of Paola Arévalo "This model, which is already operating in some Chilean processing plants has BSI + technology, allows exceptional detection and classification of defects (withered, rotten walnut, color classification or allergen detection or cross contamination) and separates the foreign matter (shell, septum, black nuts, etc.).

Likewise, it offers a very high efficiency and the false rejection that occurs is minimal. This reduces the time of the process and limits the degradation of the quality caused by additional manipulations. Undoubtedly, TOMRA offers unparalleled performance in the market. "

In parallel, TOMRA Food has developed special solutions for color defects very particular to Chile. An example of this would be our application for the detection of "yellow nuts". It is a defect in the product that originated after a rainy season. Also, other models are suitable for other tasks such as the classification by shape that separates the butterflies from the rooms or pieces,
"The choice of the classification model depends ultimately on the needs and objectives of our customers. With him, attending to his specifications and analyzing his process together we will decide the machine or suitable machines to add value to his final product ", concludes Paola Arévalo.

"In TOMRA we have been working side by side with our clients for many years. This allows them to trust us as a strategic partner to advise them and optimize their processes and the quality of their product. Events such as EXPONUT allow us to enjoy an additional meeting to discuss and understand their requirements and difficulties, share market trends to focus our energies on what will really have an impact on our future and current clients. Undoubtedly an optimal framework to also make known the latest innovations, in which TOMRA invests 8% of its profit.
