Mexico: Beans

Mexico's marketing year 2024/25 bean production is 41 percent higher than the record low of the previous year based on increased planted area. However, challenges persist such as adverse weather, limited access to quality seeds, and security issues in key production areas. The government's initiative to establish a seed producing company offers potential solutions, but the timeline for its implementation is unclear. Meanwhile, per capita bean consumption in Mexico continues to decline, reaching 7.7 kilograms per year in 2024.
