Earlier Report Observations

The fresh strawberry market in Latin America and the Caribbean saw a notable expansion in 2019, with production jumping by over 200 thousand tons to reach 1 219 thousand tons. This surge was facilitated by Mexico's reinforced role as a leading exporter to North America under NAFTA, which incentivized higher cultivation volumes for both domestic and international supply.

After a contraction in market volume to 843 thousand tons in 2021, conditions stabilized and began to recover. The market grew to 987 thousand tons by 2023, supported by industry adoption of consumer-focused innovations. Investments in digital farm monitoring and enhanced cold storage technology helped reduce post-harvest losses and improve product quality, making more strawberries available for consumption.
