Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the North American asparagus market was shaped by increasing consumer preference for fresh and organic produce, with Mexico solidifying its role as a leading producer and exporter. Expansion of cultivated area and improved agricultural techniques in Mexican states like Sonora supported supply. However, in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruptions to supply chains and logistics, affecting distribution and exports, which contributed to a decline in market volume to 59 727 t.

The market rebounded strongly in 2021, reaching a peak of 70 636 t, driven by the launch of new premium branded products and continued expansion of production in Mexico with enhanced quality control. Investments in cold chain infrastructure and logistics, initiated in response to earlier disruptions, helped improve distribution and reduce post-harvest losses. Although market volume subsequently declined to 60 614 t by 2023, the market value rose to 327.7 million US dollars, reflecting a shift toward higher-value products such as organic and pre-packaged asparagus, alongside sustained demand for convenient and healthy options.
