Agrícola Ballerina is a Chilean producer of walnuts and almonds, cultivating its own orchards across a 2,500-hectare farm located in the Quilamuta valley, near Lake and River Rapel.

In this interview, Fernando Córdova shares insights into the company’s production philosophy, competitive advantages, and vision for sustainable growth.
