It's much bigger than the cross breed variety. And it's sweeter as well.
I think the market is simply one of unusual niche fruits, it's probably something the Chilean government itself needs to create.
Ultimately the main problem is that climate change is affecting the natural production of the fruit so if there's no commercial interest for it and the government doesn't care about the cultural importance of it; then it's bound to disappear and that would genuinely be a big loss (at least I'd consdier it a big loss) for cultural and biodiversity reasons.
But I think this problem is genuinely one that needs to be confronted by the Chilean government. It could become a luxury product if you target Asian markets for example.
