Horticultural Growth Strengthens Trade Relations between The U.S. and Mexico

U.S.-Mexico trade relations have experienced significant growth in recent decades, especially in agri-food exports. From 1994 to 2022, total U.S. exports to Mexico have increased more than sixfold, from $4.6 billion to $28.4 billion, with an annual growth rate of 6.66%. The horticultural products sector has experienced a remarkable increase in terms of the number of products exported from 1994 to 2022. Specifically, the amount of product exported has increased from 585 million tons recorded in 1994 to 2.3 billion tons reached in 2022. This increase translates into an average annual growth rate of 5.05%, on average, throughout that period.

This significant increase in the number of exported horticultural products reflects this sector's importance in the U.S. economy. High-quality horticultural products are in high demand in international markets, and the ability of the United States to produce and export these products makes it a key player in this area.

We expect the horticultural products sector to continue to grow in the coming years, thanks to a combination of increased global demand and the ability of the United States to produce and export these products. This growth will not only have a positive impact on the U.S. economy but will also help meet the growing demand for horticultural products around the world, helping to improve food security and promote international trade.

With horticultural products, growth has been even more dramatic. In 1994, U.S. horticultural exports to Mexico were valued at $604 million; in 2022 they reached $3.9 billion. This impressive increase is due to the increased opening of markets and improved trade relations between the two countries.

In terms of horticultural products, the major products that the United States exports to Mexico are fruits, vegetables, and greens, and their demand has increased in recent years. Product quality and transportation infrastructure are key factors in the success of these exports.

In summary, U.S. horticultural exports to Mexico have experienced exceptional growth in recent decades, demonstrating the importance of cooperation and trade between these two neighboring countries.

The horticultural products export market is highly dynamic and presents significant fluctuations in demand during different periods. During January 2019, ORG ONION SET FR and ONIONS/SHALL,F/C led exports with values of $6.358 million and $5.125 million respectively. Throughout the period from 1994 to February 2023, ONIONS/SHALL,F/C and TOMATOES OTHER exports stood out in February 2017, with values of $4.757 million and $3.858 million, respectively. In March, the best export year was 2011, where TOMATOES OTHER and ONIONS/SHALL,F/C topped the list with values of $3.867 million and $3.777 million respectively.

The United States has exported significant quantities of vegetable products to Mexico in the last three months of the year. During October 2020, ONIONS/SHALL,F/C and ONION SETS FR/CH led exports with values of US$11.373 million and US$8.218 million, respectively. In November, ONIONS/SHALL,F/C and OTHER TOMATOES topped the list with values of $7.635 million and $4.803 million, respectively.

Finally, in December 2006, ONIONS/SHALL,F/C reached its best level with a monthly export of US$11.876 million. This data shows the relevance of agricultural products in international trade and the importance of being aware of demand fluctuations to make production and export decisions.

This data shows the importance of U.S. vegetable product exports from the United States to Mexico, which has experienced tremendous growth in recent decades. The quality and value of these products are key factors in the success of these exports, and we expect that this market will continue to be an important driver of trade between the two countries in the future.
