The Trade Mission’s Goal is to Boost U.S. Agricultural Exports and Trade with Mexico
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is accepting applications for its agribusiness trade mission to Mexico City, scheduled for November 3–6, 2025. The mission will offer U.S. agricultural exporters a chance to explore new trade opportunities in Mexico’s growing market. Applications are due by July 31, 2025.
Mexico remains the top buyer of U.S. farm products. In 2024, U.S. agricultural exports to Mexico exceeded $30 billion, supporting about 190,000 American jobs. The United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) has boosted agricultural trade, which reached nearly $79 billion last year.
USDA also works to protect U.S. livestock herds. In June, Secretary Brooke Rollins announced a bold plan to combat the New World Screwworm, which includes stronger border protection and a new sterile fly facility in Texas. This project will help prevent possible outbreaks.
Mexico’s growing middle class, love for U.S. products, and demand for high-quality goods have increased U.S. exports. Consumer-oriented products, including beef, poultry, dairy, seafood, tree nuts, pet food, and baking ingredients, lead the way — growing over 75% since 2020. Other key export items include animal feed, rice, pulses, seed potatoes, and livestock genetics.
During the trade mission, U.S. agribusinesses will meet directly with Mexican buyers, attend market briefings, join site visits, and network with local experts. The event is part of USDA’s 2025 export promotion plan, following successful missions to countries like Thailand, Guatemala, Hong Kong, and Peru.
USDA encourages all interested exporters to apply and seize this chance to build strong business ties in Mexico’s promising market.
