Extensive program

The world of substrates, irrigation efficiency, proper nutrition and health management of fruit and plants, the use of growth regulators, bio-inputs, and strategies to combat diseases and pests, among other topics, will shape the main meeting of the Mexican blueberry and berry industry, taking place in Guadalajara.

The program aims to address each of the producers' challenges; however, the uncertainty caused by the threat of tariffs and U.S. protectionism will also be a topic of in-depth discussion and analysis.

Open stage

Mexico exports 97% of its blueberry production to the United States and is in the midst of a market diversification campaign, exploring destinations in Europe and Asia. Countries such as Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore have expressed interest in importing Mexican blueberries, which represents an opportunity to diversify exports.

The trade war between the United States and China has altered the landscape of global trade and is likely to have significant consequences for countries. Amidst the uncertainty, large companies have begun to rethink their supply chains, seeking closer, more efficient, and stable alternatives. In this context, some analysts suggest that Mexico has the potential to be the ideal strategic partner. However, amid this potential opportunity, certain risks and threats loom that must be addressed, such as the possibility of direct tariffs on Mexican products by Donald Trump.

Mexico has experience

This reactivation of protectionist policies by the US is a scenario that already occurred in 2019, when the US threatened progressive tariffs if Mexico did not strengthen its immigration policy. This time, it is likely that the US will use tariffs as a tool of political pressure, beyond trade.

Everything remains to be seen, so the analysis in the discussion panels of the meeting of the And May 28 29, will surely be dedicated to discussing the different future scenarios that arise for Mexican berries and the strategies to follow to defend the industry.
