Mexico: Blueberry Annual Voluntary

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   MX2025-0004
Mexico is a leading global producer of blueberries, ranking sixth worldwide. Production is forecast at 73,500 metric tons (MT) for calendar year (CY) 2025, representing a nine percent decrease from CY 2024 based on a shortened harvest period. Mexico’s CY 2025 exports are forecast at 70,000 MT and imports at 20,000 MT. While still well below the annual per capita consumption levels of the United States and other leading global blueberry consumers, Mexico’s consumption more than doubled from 2023 to 2024 with increasing consumer awareness of the berries and related health benefits. The United States is expected to remain both Mexico’s number one blueberry export market and its top supplier.
