In Mexico, summer vegetable production under protective environment is getting underway

Year-Round Vegetable Production in Mexico

• Production is shifting from Sinaloa and Sonora to Central Mexico and Baja California, ensuring continuous supply.

• Unlike seasonal suppliers, some distributors maintain operations year-round through strategic regional partnerships.

Summer Growing Practices

• Protected agriculture (greenhouses, shade structures) helps manage heat, wind, and pests for consistent summer yields.

• Key summer crops include squash, cucumbers, tomatoes, and eggplant, with organic options available.

Packaging and Distribution Advantages

• Advanced cooling and bagging techniques extend shelf life, supporting nationwide distribution.

• Fast processing—harvest to shipment in under 24 hours—ensures freshness.

Market Trends & Stability

• Mild weather has allowed extended production in some regions, leading to ample supply and lower prices.

• Long-term contracts help stabilize pricing, reducing exposure to market fluctuations.
