SUBJECT: CHILE ANNOUNCES MARKET ACCESS FOR U.S. POULTRY 
 
Ref:  07 SANTIAGO 1979 
 
1.  SUMMARY:  On January 31, Chile opened its market to imports of 
U.S. chicken and turkey.  In a meeting that day with the Ambassador, 
Minister of Agriculture Hornkohl made the announcement official. 
The Ambassador and Hornkohl agreed on the importance of continuing 
to open bilateral markets, noting the almost doubling of agriculture 
exports under the Free Trade Agreement.  Hornkohl said the next step 
for Chile would be adding more value to its agriculture sector, and 
it would look to the U.S. for help.  In the region, Chile would look 
increasingly to assist its neighbors improve their agricultural 
capacity.  END SUMMARY. 
 
Your System Is the Same as Ours 
------------------------------- 
 
2.  After years of negotiations, on January 31 Chile recognized the 
U.S. system of poultry processing and inspections as equivalent to 
its own.  The U.S. granted Chile the same recognition on December 3, 
2007.  While Chile is unlikely to be a major market for U.S. poultry 
exports, the fact that mutual access was granted as a result of 
recognizing both systems' equivalency should aid further U.S. access 
worldwide.  For its part, Chile has long sought access to the USD 60 
billion annual poultry market in the U.S.  In coming years, access 
could add substantially to Chile's 2007 (as of November) USD 3.3 
billion in agriculture exports to the U.S. 
 
Ambassador's Meeting with Agriculture Minister 
--------------------------------------------- - 
 
3.  In the Ambassador's January 31 courtesy call on new Agriculture 
Minister Marigen Hornkohl, both agreed on the fundamental importance 
to the trade relationship of reverse seasons, which gives access to 
products their own market could not produce year-round.  Hornkohl 
told the Ambassador she viewed bilateral market access as not only 
important to trade but also to the more fundamental goals of 
deepening democratic, institutional and cultural ties. 
 
4.  The Ambassador welcomed the doubling of agriculture exports 
between the U.S. and Chile under the FTA.  Hornkohl agreed, pointing 
out the trade's "good balance" relative to populations.  She thanked 
both sides for "very professional work" in opening markets further 
and cited the importance of continuing to work in this area. 
 
5.  Hornkohl said the next challenge for Chile would be adding more 
value to its agriculture exports.  Finding ways to put innovation 
into practice was the next frontier.  For this, ties to the U.S. 
would be key.  The Ambassador agreed and said he would like to see 
more U.S. ties to universities and other technology leaders. 
 
Energy and Agriculture 
---------------------- 
 
6.  The Ambassador said he had been discussing Chile's energy needs 
and the potential of biofuels with Minister of Energy Tokman 
(reftel).  He offered that there was much more that Chile could do 
in this area.  Hornkohl agreed and said Chile's lack of reliable 
energy sources was a clear weakness and there was a need for 
increasing use of renewable energy.  There was much arable land in 
Chile still available for planting biofuels.  She expressed interest 
in further cooperation with the U.S. in this and other research 
fields. 
 
Always More to Do 
----------------- 
 
7.  Both agreed that despite the success of mutual access for 
poultry, there remained much to do.  For Chile, access to the U.S. 
for its citrus fruit, oranges and grapefruit, was the next step on 
the agricultural roadmap.  For the U.S., expanding access to Chile 
for red meat and chilled pork was the next.  To further ties between 
the U.S. and Chile, the Ambassador said he would seek an invitation 
from U.S. Agriculture Secretary Schafer for Hornkohl to visit the 
U.S.  She welcomed the possibility of an official visit. 
 
8.  Hornkohl said that while Chile did not engage in central 
planning from the agriculture ministry, she was searching for ways 
to provide the sector, especially its small and medium enterprises, 
more information and access, including on global warming, as she 
thought Chile was beginning to experience some climate change.  The 
Ambassador noted Chile's importance as a positive example in the 
region.  Hornkohl agreed and said Chile was actively working with 
neighbors like Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru in areas such as capacity 
building.  Chile wants to be an active and positive model for them 
as they develop their agriculture sectors further. 
 
9. COMMENT.  Chile is a model agricultural leader in South America 
and the developing world.  The real value to the U.S. of the market 
access Chile granted was in the recognition of our system as 
equivalent rather than any specific dollar amount of poultry Chile 
will import.  Market access for the U.S. on these terms should 
ultimately help U.S. agriculture negotiations and access in the 
region and beyond.
