Mexico: Food Processing Ingredients

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

While Mexico’s GDP only grew by 1.3%, the processed food industry grew by 4% in 2013 and it is expected to grow at that same rate or stronger for the next decade due to an overall increase in production capacity, economic stabilization and growth, reduction of manufacturing costs, and the growth of the middle class. The best processed food categories in Mexico are baked goods and tortilla products followed by meat processing and packing, prepared foods, grain and seed processing. Products with growth potential are healthy processed foods, premium or niche market products, dairy variety products, ready to eat meals and craft beer.
