Earlier Report Observations

The Mexican barley market volume fluctuated between 2018 and 2020, declining from 1 009 тыс. т to 864 тыс. т. During this period, the market was characterized by a monopsony structure with a single dominant buyer, primarily the malting industry, and production concentrated in central states like Guanajuato and Hidalgo.

Market volume rebounded sharply to 1 033 тыс. т in 2021 and remained high at 1 024 тыс. т in 2022. This recovery was supported by a 367 million peso financing program from FIRA for producers in the Altiplano region, aimed at adopting innovations to improve productivity and sustainability. Additionally, Mexico opened its market to barley imports from Argentina in 2022, increasing supply availability and competition.

In 2023, market volume decreased to 898 тыс. т, with imports of 66 тыс. т partially offsetting a drop in domestic production. The same year saw the announcement of a new malting plant by Malteurop, driven by a deficit in malt production capacity due to the recovering beer market, indicating ongoing investment in processing infrastructure.
