AS OUR HAND IN CHILE

Increasingly commune hear about the lack of initiatives in our community, opportunity, means, mechanisms or alternatives for local development, including lack of resources, the latter being understood as the absence of products with which you can access to markets, enabling equitable development.

We are a privileged location in many ways, privileges although we have not managed to channel and to some extent we have lost, by the limited ability to realize this potential is not too late to realize that resources are available and in some cases closer than we think.

Maqui (chilensis)

species that already in 1997 a volume of harvesting and marketing of approximately 90,000 pounds of machinery, which were processed and sent to Germany in an amount equivalent to 20,000 kg of concentrate

other hand, a taste perception study conducted in Chile Foundation regarding the jam of machinery, consisting of a sensory evaluation of preference and acceptability compared to two formulations of jam machinery. The main conclusions of this assessment were:

• 62% of evaluators Jam Maqui buy if it were in the market.
• In the preference test the simple jam without pectin was the most preferred
• The main problem identified is the product of residual color in the mouth as not many people know, though in smaller numbers also exist Blanco machinery.
machinery
The jam is sold in specialized areas of southern Chile, a very low scale, the price is $ 1,000 to 250 grs jam. Pulp and dye



The export price of pulp ranges from 4 to 7 U.S. $ / kg

natural dyes such as machinery are priced between U.S. $ 15/kg and U.S. $ 79/Kg, values \u200b\u200bmuch higher than the pulp.

Today there are several companies that are involved in the export of this fruit native to our country in volumes that exceed the 200 tons per year is more it may seem hard to believe there are people who are planting machinery to meet demand growing market for natural dyes. The Maqui

, its main assets are the alkaloids and tannins, have properties anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic and analgesic. Specifically, the alkaloids have a relaxing action on smooth muscle.

Nalca (Gunnera tinctoria)

is a kind traditionally used, which however is difficult to imagine, tasting than other preparations only with salt, as we used to eat, however products like jam nalca the pickled nalca or nalca-sour (pisco sour nalca), now being sold in different parts of our country will provide exciting opportunities for those who dare to save the new or traditional knowledge on the use of our native flora
not forget that this species apart edible use has other applications recognized as an ornamental species, or cooked leaves placed on the lower back and kidneys are fever, the root contains tannin and gum, for its tonic and astringent properties used against bleeding and diarrhea, the craftsmen used for coloring fabrics and also black leather tanning

You can find a variety of species than Croesus in natural conditions, for which there is an interesting and sometimes unknown market, many of them go unnoticed by most people, but turn out to be a resource that generates tangible benefits, not the market is unknown Fungi as Callampa pink (lactarius deliciosus), which is the second most important fungus in Chilean exports, it is also necessary to appoint another fungus Morchella (Morchella sp.), which achieves the highest prices in the domestic export market, moreover, that this presents the second international commercial value after
Murtilla Truffle Ugni molinae recognized species and commercially, partly because of the many features of its fruits, in which case they were working with a large number of plantations of the species, which has good prices and volumes required to satisfy the international markets, many species have a more market and those still waiting to be u Properly use the remote

Even some species that we consider weeds such as dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), is sold in various markets around U.S. $ 30 per kilogram of dry grass, or $ 44 per kilogram of dried roots, species such as boldo, Quillaja, the leaves of the blackberry bush and its medicinal properties, sold not far from our community, are some of the species, although there are many more and would be too extensive to mention all but this can give us a small sample, that the resources for our much desired development are sometimes closer what
So we only have to ask yourself are willing to work?, as noted Mr Barrueto, to realize this potential and we are left only with intentions?
