Years-long decline before final shutdown · Fatal mistake: Chile agritech: ASOEX (fresh fruit exporters association) had digital traceability program covering 90% of fruit exports. Chilean Agricultural Ministry ODEPA had digital market information system. Large vineyards (Concha y Toro, Santa Rita) used Australian and French parent precision agriculture systems. Smallholder drip-irrigation farmers used Netafim (Israeli) systems with bundled digital tools.
Evaluating only AgroTechCL’s profile at its peak — without knowing the outcome — the model ranked Competition as the #1 likely cause. Documented cause: Distribution.

Documented cause
AgroTechCL built precision agritech for Chile. ASOEX (90% fruit exports), French/Australian parent vineyard AI, Netafim bundled tools covered primary targets. 350 independent farms.
Lesson
“Chile agritech must target the blueberry export sector (fastest-growing export, 200K+ ha planted, no established digital platform) — this emerging crop has no ASOEX equivalent and no parent company digital coverage.”
