8 Fruits is a family business founded in 2017 with the goal of exporting fresh fruit and nuts produced throughout Chile.
The main focus of the company is to offer a wide range of high-quality fruits and nuts throughout the year, positioning ourselves as an export company, which is also a grower and packer, thereby ensuring the value chain, production and quality.
The company's fruit comes primarily from Agrícola Huillinco, owned by the same shareholders as 8 Fruits. Their orchards comprise 250 hectares of walnut trees, 51 hectares of pistachios, 21 hectares of cherries, and 65 hectares of sweet citrus, sourced from four production units ranging from the Atacama Region to the Metropolitan Region. We process fruit from producers who share our vision and focus on quality.
In 2023 we inaugurated our walnut processing plant, with an area of approximately 6,000 m2 and a capacity to process up to 3,000 tons.
We have 4 solar plants, one in each farm, totaling 730 kW to supply 100% of our electricity demand.
Our orchards and processing plant have been certified by Global GAP, HACCP and GRASP.

To be the most sustainable fruit and nut provider, with the best service and the highest quality for our customers in Chile and the world.
