Jumpstart Your Product Export Sales to Mexico

Since joining the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) in 1994, Mexico has negotiated more trade agreements (50) than any other country. Mexico is a member of the new 11-member Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), which was formally created in March 2018. NAFTA was updated to the U.S.-Mexico-Canada agreement (USMCA) in July 2020, with a review in six years. The new deal guarantees tariff-free regional trade between the countries.

USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) Agricultural Trade Office (ATO) in Mexico City reports that current U.S. export sales trends indicate that intermediate- and consumer-oriented products will drive future growth. Niches of opportunity continue to appear as Mexico’s domestic processing sector diversifies and consumers shift to demand healthy, convenient, and high-quality foods, as indicated by recent consumer habits during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Mexico imports a considerable amount of U.S. processed foods ranking second overall after Canada.

U.S. Food & Agricultural Product Imports to Mexico, By the Numbers:

  • U.S. Processed Foods – US$8.8 billion (2023)
