Over the past few decades, Mexico has solidified its position as a prominent global producer of fruits and vegetables. It has been able to secure a place among the top 10 producing countries, primarily due to the surge in avocado, tomato, pepper, berry and mango production. The specific situation of each of these commodities has now been made clear thanks to the Agricultural Closure data provided annually by the Food and Fisheries Information Service (SIAP).
It should be noted that the data presented refers to the gross earnings for each crop. To determine net profit, production costs specific to each crop must be subtracted. To assess the revenue generated by crops in Mexico, we considered the total harvested area for each crop and the production value in 2022. The value per area ratio gives us the value in Mexican pesos per harvested hectare.
In this regard, the crop with the highest value per unit area in Mexico is agave, with 1,341,479 pesos per hectare, followed by raspberry and blueberry, with 1,309,573 pesos/ha and 1,065,215 pesos/ha, respectively.
