Mexico Could be Top Destination for U.S. Exports

U.S. food and ag exports to Mexico surged 65% over the past four years, reaching $31.4 billion in 2024—just shy of Canada’s $32.4 billion. Driven by Mexico’s booming manufacturing sector and rising demand for meat, dairy, grains, and processed foods, the U.S.–Mexico ag trade hit $80 billion. While growth may slow due to economic pressures and a weaker peso, Mexico is on track to become the top buyer of U.S. ag products—especially grain, feed, and oilseeds. Experts call it a “win-win” for both nations’ food systems.
