The Lake District of Southern Chile, Osorno, is the agricultural centre of the 10th region. Located at the confluence of the Rahue and Damas rivers, in the shadow of the active but minor Osorno Volcano, the pasture growth is excellent, as the volcanic soils are naturally fertile and predominantly free-draining.
The region has, interestingly, preserved much of its 19th-century architecture and urban layout. Its large park, in the city’s heart, ‘La Plaza de Armas’, is decorated with beautiful fountains, benches and stunning tree-lined avenues. One of the prominent landmarks, the ‘Catedral San de Matteo’, is remarkable as Osorno’s architectural gem, featuring an ogival style. It is well-known for its large, colourful mosaics and windows depicting biblical scenes.
The ‘Los Lagos region experiences an oceanic climate with a drying trend in the summer and cool yet mild winters. This unique agricultural centre, which accounts for the bulk of Osorno province’s economic activity, is well suited to breeding Chilean horses, cattle, and, notably, dairy farming.
Subsequently, the National Cattle Ranch of Chile was established, thereby significantly boosting the economy. Due to its similar climate to parts of New Zealand, many dairy farms are owned by Kiwis, such as the Manuka group, which owns 14 farms run by local Chileans, and Chilterra, a joint Chilean/New Zealand enterprise. This partnership has grown due to a combination of lower farm development costs, readily available materials, and high levels of sanitary control, resulting in dairy cooperatives producing milk of high quality.
Osorno is the heart of the Chilean Dairy Industry
Incomparable to any other Latin American province, Osorno offers the impressive Puyehue National Park, with its pristine lakes, hot springs, and thick forests, opening onto sensational beaches and bays such as Maicolpué and Bahía Mansa.
Chile is considered the Latin American country with the least investment risk and high competitiveness, offering strong guarantees for foreign investors due to economic stability and monetary discipline, and it’s a strategic platform for exports with a large number of free trade agreements, including with Europe, the USA, and China. Amongst an assortment of annual festivals such as the ‘Festival del Folklore Campesino’ (Country Folk) and ‘Festival de la Carne y la Leche’, the most relevant ‘Feria Ganadera Sago Fisur’ highlights the current encouraging state of cultural activity.
