Mexico shipped more than 715 tons of berries abroad in 2026, representing 2% annual growth, with total production estimated at around 1.3 million tons. Export values are significant, but the sector is navigating persistent pricing pressure and financing challenges that are straining growers and exporters even as volumes expand.
Mexico is the dominant supplier of raspberries and blackberries to the U.S. market, and a major strawberry and blueberry source as well. Growth in export tonnage while margins compress is a structural tension that can eventually lead to consolidation, reduced planted area, or quality trade-offs — all of which matter to North American buyers.
With raspberry pricing already under pressure from heavy supply, as covered previously, the financing stress flagged here adds another dimension to watch. If cost pressures force Mexican growers to scale back or exit, future supply availability could tighten even if current volumes look healthy.
