Chile has a well-developed corn market and a growing environment similar to the United States cornbelt. The 100 percent irrigated corn market is relatively small, but very competitive. The agriculture industry in Chile is one of the most productive in the world.

Pioneer Chile sells through a dealer organization, which also distributes DuPont crop protection products. Chile produces corn for both grain and silage markets.

Chile also is an important location for corn research and winter nursery activities. The Paine production plant is one of the largest in the world, serving local and Northern Hemisphere production requirements.

Pioneer has about 100 full time employees in five locations in Chile, including:

• Sales and administrative headquarters in Santiago
• Production facility in Paine
• Research centers in Arica, Temuco and Viluco

• Alvaro Eyzaguirre, General Manager
• Eduardo Zañartu, Sales & Marketing Manager
