Morre Ronald Bown, líder histórico do setor de exportação de frutas do Chile

Ronald Bown Fernández, que liderou a associação de exportadores de frutas do Chile por mais de três décadas, faleceu na quinta-feira aos 80 anos, vítima de câncer.

Bown esteve à frente da Asociación de Exportadores de Frutas de Chile, agora conhecida como Frutas de Chile, de 1990 até 2022. A atual associação, presidida por Iván Marambio, destacou sua visão e compromisso, que ajudaram a posicionar o Chile como um dos principais exportadores mundiais de frutas frescas.

O presidente da Sociedad Nacional de Agricultura, Antonio Walker, afirmou que Bown foi uma figura chave no desenvolvimento do setor de exportação e agroalimentar do Chile. O atual ministro da Agricultura, Jaime Campos, expressou pesar pela perda e relembrou seu papel na abertura de mercados internacionais.

Bown, engenheiro comercial, teve sete filhos, incluindo Carol Bown, prefeita de San Miguel. O Ministério das Relações Exteriores e a Confederación de la Producción y del Comercio também manifestaram suas condolências pelo falecimento.
