Mexico: Exporter Guide Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   MX2025-0031
In 2024, Mexico was the largest market for U.S. agricultural products and the only market to reach over $30 billion in agricultural exports. Market opportunities continue to expand with U.S. consumer-oriented products increasing by 13 percent. U.S. meat products, food preparation, fresh vegetables and baked goods are among the largest growing food categories. Continued opportunities in the retail and food service sectors, with increased growth in the food processing sector makes Mexico an optimal market for U.S. products. Maintaining a strong grasp of the Mexican import process and business culture and identifying a reputable importer will help U.S. companies maximize market opportunities in Mexico.
