Our sales team visited Mexico from August 14th to 18th. During this time we visited Mexico City, Los Mochis and Guadalajara. We had the opportunity to visit top agricultural companies in Mexico and discuss with them matters such as registration, market conditions, business and further cooperation.
Great Partners, Mexico
Mexico is the leading crop protection market in Central America, along with Guatemala and Nicaragua. According to market intelligence agency AgbioInvestor, the Mexican agrochemical market was worth US$890 million between 2015 and 2020.
Despite the general contraction in the Mexican economy, agribusiness responded positively to COVID-19-related food demand, growing by 4.5% in 2021 to 290.7 million tons (21.7 million hectares harvested, 1.9 million tons of fishery-related products, meat category 7.4 million tons). As a result, Mexico’s tobacco industry will continue to expand, driven by strong consumer demand and a growing middle class.
Mexico has a large land area and diverse climate, which is very suitable for large-scale agricultural production. Mexico is the world’s 11th largest agricultural producer, 12th largest livestock producer, 17th largest fishery producer and 12th largest food producer, according to Mexico’s Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development (Secretaría de Agricultura y Desarrollo Rural, or SADER) country. Overall, the country is Latin America’s third-largest agricultural producer.
The main crop in Mexico is corn. In addition to corn, there are many crops with the largest cultivated area in the world.
