===Agriculture=== {{Main|Agriculture in Chile}} [[File:Viñedo Puente Alto.jpg|thumb|left|[[Vineyard]] in [[Puente Alto]]]] [[Agriculture]] in Chile encompasses a wide range of different activities due to its particular [[geography]], [[climate]] and [[geology]] and human factors. Historically agriculture is one of the bases of Chile's economy. Now agriculture and allied sectors like [[forestry]], [[logging]] and [[fishing]] account for only 4.9% of the [[GDP]] {{As of|2007|lc=y}} and employ 13.6% of the country's labor force. Chile is one of the 5 largest world producers of [[cherry]] and [[blueberry]], and one of the 10 largest world producers of [[grape]], [[apple]], [[Kiwifruit|kiwi]], [[peach]], [[plum]] and [[hazelnut]], focusing on exporting high-value fruits.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/QCL/ |title=Agriculture in Chile, by FAO |access-date=11 July 2022 |archive-date=11 May 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170511194947/http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/QCL/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Some other major agriculture products of Chile include [[pear]]s, [[onion]]s, [[wheat]], [[maize]], [[oats]], [[garlic]], [[asparagus]], [[bean]]s, [[beef]], [[poultry]], [[wool]], [[fish]], [[Lumber|timber]] and [[hemp]]. Due to its geographical isolation and strict customs policies Chile is free from diseases and pests such as [[mad cow disease]], [[Drosophilidae|fruit fly]] and [[Phylloxera]]. This, its location in the [[Southern Hemisphere]], which has quite different harvesting times from the [[Northern Hemisphere]], and its wide range of agriculture conditions are considered Chile's main comparative advantages. However, Chile's mountainous landscape limits the extent and intensity of agriculture so that arable land corresponds only to 2.62% of the total territory. Chile currently utilizes 14,015 Hectares of agricultural land.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://data.oecd.org/chile.htm|title=Chile – OECD Data|website=theOECD|language=en|access-date=2 November 2018|archive-date=25 November 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181125030826/https://data.oecd.org/chile.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> Chile is the world's second largest producer of [[salmon]], after Norway. In 2019, it was responsible for 26% of the global supply.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.istoedinheiro.com.br/algas-nocivas-matam-mais-de-42-mil-toneladas-de-salmao-no-chile/|title=Algas nocivas matam mais de 4,2 mil toneladas de salmão no Chile|access-date=4 September 2022|archive-date=24 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221024140847/https://www.istoedinheiro.com.br/algas-nocivas-matam-mais-de-42-mil-toneladas-de-salmao-no-chile/|url-status=live}}</ref> In [[wine]], Chile is usually among the 10 largest producers in the world.
