Cognitive Concepts
Framing Bias

Language Bias
The language used is largely positive and promotional. Terms like "explosive growth," "ideal moment," and "super fruits" create a sense of excitement and opportunity.

The perspectives of Chilean farmers facing challenges related to increased production are also absent. While acknowledging space constraints, these omissions limit a fully informed understanding of the situation.
False Dichotomy

This creates a somewhat simplistic narrative.
