Mosca de la fruta golpea duramente a Coquimbo: revelan pérdidas de hasta "un millón de kilos" (EBB)

President of the Northern Agricultural Society reveals serious losses due to fruit flies in Coquimbo. 95,000 kilos of fruit were thrown away by small-scale farmers and 1 million kilos by large-scale farmers and exporters. There are 42 outbreaks of infection in Chile, 9 in Coquimbo. The eradication process requires the disposal of all fruit. A desperate situation for workers. Chile is free of the pest in foreign trade, but there is a risk of infection from foreign fruits.
