Mexico expects to multiply the destinations of its tomato exports.
In Mexico, tomato exports arrive at levels similar to other leading foreign trade products such as avocado or beer with incomes of more than 30 billion pesos per year.
The country produces 3,800 million tonnes of tomatoes and exports about 800,000 tonnes to the United States (866,000 tonnes in 2016). Industry professionals point out that exports have made good progress, towards the United States, Canada and Europe.
Among the next export targets, the possibility of exporting by air to the United Arab Emirates, England and France began to be studied. The first expeditions to England will be tried soon.
