Overview

  • The agreement was published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación on August 8 and took effect immediately
  • It establishes minimum export prices per kilogram ranging from $0.88 for Roma tomatoes to $1.70 for cherry, grape and other specialty varieties
  • All major Mexican tomato producer associations have endorsed the measure to prevent price undercutting and support the national horticultural sector
  • Prices will be reviewed annually or sooner if market conditions warrant to ensure competitiveness and supply stability
  • The policy directly responds to the US Department of Commerce’s 17.09% antidumping duty imposed on Mexican tomato imports
