Chile: imports of US beef much higher in 2012
27/02/2013
Five years ago, the comparative value was $1 million. Even as recently as 2010, the figure was only $6 million.

It added that another factor was the growing levels of wealth in Chile and the increasing desire among its consumers for high-quality beef.
