Chile is great for growing vegetables because it is not too hot or too cold during their summers, just like a lot of California. The United States gets a lot of vegetables from Chile when it is winter up here.
Why do Americans constantly have to compare everywhere in the world to some place in the US? California, central Chile, western South Africa, and the Mediterranean Basin all have the same climate type

I'd reckon people from other countries do it too with their big cities. Not necessarily out of arrogance, but just familiarity.
The whole Chile is to South America what Peninsula California, California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska are to North America, plain and simple.
Well Chile also has a well-developed wine industry, like California's. How's that?
That's really the only thing they have in common that I can think of.
Chile has more beautiful mountains. More pristine natural beauty. More alpacas.
California, or at least Southern California, is a sprawling mega-city. Highways and traffic and pollution. More Hollywood. Only the coastal areas of Northern California would resemble Chile, IMO.
