Why did Chile increase exports of fruit, vegetables, and wine after 1973?

Following the military coup in 1973, the new government shifted away from previous socialistic policies and state-controlled economic models toward a conservative, free-market approach.1

To meet expenditure requirements and credit payments abroad, the military government strongly encouraged the export of agricultural commodities by both private national and international companies. Within this policy framework, Chile significantly increased its exports of fresh fruit, canned vegetables, and wines. This development of a broader export economy was part of a larger effort to reduce the country's heavy dependence on a single major export, copper, and to improve overall economic growth.21
