In 2024, fruits and vegetables played a major role in U.S.-Mexico agricultural trade. According to the USDA, 73.1% of U.S. agricultural imports from Mexico were made up of vegetables, fruit, beverages, or distilled spirits, with several key fresh produce items dominating the trade.
On the import side, tomatoes (6%), avocados (7%), and a broad category of other vegetables (12%) were among the most significant products entering the U.S. from Mexico. Fruit imports also featured prominently, with strawberries (2%), raspberries (2%), and other fruit preparations, including juices, accounting for 12% of total imports.
Meanwhile, fruit and vegetable exports from the U.S. to Mexico made up 9% of total agricultural exports, valued at $30.2 billion. Although this share is smaller than imports, it highlights Mexico as a consistent and vital market for U.S. produce.
The trade data underscores the deep integration of fresh produce supply chains between the two countries and the importance of maintaining resilient, efficient, and mutually beneficial trade relations in the fruit and vegetable sectors.
