The Mexican industry is a leader in many aspects of cultivation at a global level, among others, it is a pioneer in producing blueberries in a tropical climate, which has been a contribution to research, science and knowledge regarding cultivation, and is observed with great interest.

Mexico allocates 95% of its production to the US and Canadian markets, destinations to which volumes have tripled in recent seasons. Mexican production, although it reaches its maximum harvest capacity between February and April, in practice the season extends from September to June, coinciding with South American production in its early and middle part, although it has the great advantage of the freshness of the fruit, due to the short distance it is from the North American market.
