By Mexitory · June 2025

In a time of increasing grocery prices, disrupted supply chains, and shifting trade policies, buyers across the United States are rethinking how and where they source their food.

From grocery retailers and foodservice operators to distributors and wholesalers, the demand for reliable, affordable, and transparent sourcing has never been higher.

That’s where our online directory comes in. 🌎

Why Mexico? A Global Food Powerhouse

Mexico is more than just a neighbor to the US — it’s one of the top 10 agricultural exporters in the world, shipping over $50 billion in food products annually. U.S. imports from Mexico include essential items such as:

• Avocados:: Mexico supplies over 80% of avocados consumed in the U.S.

• Berries:: Mexico is the largest supplier of fresh berries to the U.S.

• Tomatoes, chilies, citrus, tropical fruits, coffee, cocoa, spices, and value-added products.

• Despite this abundance, many U.S. buyers still struggle to locate dependable suppliers who can consistently meet volume, quality, and regulatory requirements. That’s the gap our platform is built to fill.
