%X The rapid propagation of European fruit-bearing plants in Chile and Cuyo led to the problem of their exploitation, which was a complex issue in the period before the availability of means of refrigeration. The response was to encourage agro-industrial activity. Some fruits were conserved through a process of dehydration and others were used in the making of oils. Some of these products were commercialised on the domestic market and others were exported, especially to Peru. There was also an improved use of the timber from fruit trees in both the construction industry and carpentry and cabinet-making. These activities ensured the economic viability of fruit-growing and made it possible for it to expand in the region under analysis. La r芍pida propagaci車n de plantas frutales europeas en Chile y Cuyo formul車 el problema de su aprovechamiento, asunto complejo antes de la disponibilidad de medios de refrigeraci車n. La respuesta fue el impulso a la actividad agroindustrial. Algunos frutas se conservaban mediante deshidrataci車n, otras se usaban para elaboraban aceites. Algunos de estos productos se comercializaban en el mercado interno y otros se exportaban, particularmente al Per迆. Adem芍s se avanz車 en el aprovechamiento de frutales tanto para construcci車n como en carpinter赤a y ebanister赤a. Estas actividades aseguraron la viabilidad econ車mica de la fruticultura e hicieron posible su expansi車n en la regi車n estudiada.
