Overview

• Mexico’s economy and agriculture ministries set price floors on August 8 at $1.70/kg for cherry and grape tomatoes, $0.88 for Roma, $0.95 for round, and $1.65 for stemmed round varieties.
• The decree took effect immediately upon publication in the federal gazette to prevent export price distortions and reopen full U.S. market access.
• The U.S. Commerce Department imposed roughly 17% anti-dumping duties on fresh Mexican tomatoes on July 14 after withdrawing from the 2019 export agreement.
• Mexican associations of tomato producers endorsed the minimum export prices as a way to protect growers and ensure predictable supply conditions.
• Both governments now face a 90-day window for broader trade negotiations before potential tariff escalations on Mexican agricultural and manufacturing imports.
