From Mexico to the Super Bowl! Michoacán and Jalisco will send a record 127 thousand tons of avocado to the US

Mexico plans to export a record 127 thousand tons of avocados from Michoacán and Jalisco to the United States for the Super Bowl.

In anticipation of the upcoming Super Bowl, Mexico is poised to export a historical record of 127 thousand tons of avocados, primarily from the states of Michoacán and Jalisco. This information was shared by the National Agricultural Council (CNA), which collaborates with the Association of Producers and Exporters of Avocado from Mexico (Apeam) to ensure that these high-quality avocados reach markets in the United States, particularly during this peak season for avocado demand.

The export of avocados, often referred to as 'green gold,' highlights the significance of Mexican agriculture in the global food market. The National Agricultural Council recognized the vital role of the more than 1.8 million producers in the agricultural value chain, emphasizing their commitment, resilience, and professionalism in maintaining Mexico's standing as the 11th largest food producer worldwide. This export not only serves the domestic market but also showcases the quality of Mexico's agricultural products on an international stage.

This significant shipment of avocados underscores the economic importance of this fruit for local producers and the agricultural sector in Mexico. By exporting such a large volume, the country not only satisfies the high demand during one of the most popular sporting events in the United States but also supports the livelihoods of countless farming families involved in the avocado production process. The success of this export operation contributes not only to the local economy but also enhances Mexico's reputation as a key player in the global agricultural market.
