Mexico: Retail Foods

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   MX2023-0033

Mexico, with its growing population, market-oriented agricultural and food sectors, and 2,000-mile land border with the United States, is the second-largest export market for U.S. agricultural products. In 2022, exports of U.S. agricultural products to Mexico totaled $28.5 billion, showing an increase of 11.8 percent versus 2021 when U.S. agricultural and related exports to Mexico totaled $25.5 billion. Despite post-pandemic supply chain challenges and ripple effects stemming from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Mexico remains one of the largest and most consistent markets for U.S. agricultural products, especially U.S. consumer-oriented products.
