    The Bolivian Institute of Foreign Trade (IBCE) recently reported that Bolivia's status as a "chestnut exporter" will continue to be consolidated
    this year.
    In the first half of this year, Bolivia exported nearly 14,000 tons of chestnuts, with exports amounting to $104 million
    .
    According to this trend, this year is expected to break the historical record of chestnut exports
    .
     
    Bolivia's Pravda newspaper reported on September 30 that Bolivia has been the world's leading exporter of chestnuts for more than 20 years
    .
    According to IBCE, the highest export of Bolivian chestnuts was recorded in 2018, with exports exceeding 26,000 tons and exports exceeding $220 million
    .
    In the first half of this year, Bolivia exported nearly 14,000 tons of chestnuts, an increase of 3% over the same period in 2021; Exports amounted to US$104 million, up 50%
    year-on-year.
    According to the current export development trend, this year is expected to break the record
    of 2018.
     
    IBCE President Demetrio Soruco Henicke stressed that authorities should pay attention to chestnut producers in the Amazon region, which are 100% organic and have conquered European and American markets
    .
    At the same time, local respect for nature in the production of chestnuts should be encouraged to take into account the balance of tropical ecosystems so that their productivity does not decline
    .
    In addition, it is necessary to solve the problem
    of smuggling of chestnuts in Bolivia.
     
    José dgar Blacutt Mérida, president of the Northern Chamber of Commerce, Exports, Logistics, Services, Development, Education, Science and Technology (Cadexnor), said 75 percent of the economy in the northern Bolivian Amazon region revolves around chestnut production chains
    .
    Although there are more than 20 competing varieties worldwide, Bolivian chestnuts are favored
    by the international market for their high-quality protein and carbohydrates, as well as their antioxidant properties.
