Mexico: Berry Annual Voluntary

Post forecasts Mexico's berry production for calendar year 2026 to increase by 4 percent to 1.2 million MT across blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries. This growth in production is driven by Mexican industry's investments in improved varieties, adoption of modern growing techniques, and changes to harvest timing to capture premium pricing windows in international markets. Mexico's largest area of production continues to be strawberries, which represent 54 percent of total production. Blueberry production is forecast to substantially grow as Mexican growers shift to focus on premium markets, leveraging the spring window to reduce competition with Peruvian exports to the U.S. market. Mexico is expected to maintain its position as the top supplier of fresh berries to the United States in 2026.
