The land area devoted to agriculture in Chile has considerably decreased since 2000. In that year, an area of approximately 21.1 thousand square kilometers in the country was classified as arable land or occupied with permanent crops. In contrast, in 2016, the total arable and cropland area added up to 17.27 thousand square kilometers, a decrease of nearly 18 percent.

The source provides the following definitions:
"Arable refers to all land generally under rotation, whether for temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted only once) or meadows, or left fallow (less than five years). These data are not meant to indicate the amount of land that is potentially cultivable.
Permanent crops are those that occupy land for a long period and do not have to be planted for several years after each harvest (e.g. cocoa, coffee, rubber). Land under vines and trees and shrubs producing fruits, nuts and flowers, such as roses and jasmine, is so classified, as are nurseries (except those for forest trees, which should be classified under "forests and other wooded land")."
