Mexico’s food processing industry is the second largest in Latin America, behind Brazil, making Mexico a top destination for U.S. food ingredients. Processed meat, dairy, and baking ingredients including confectionary, sweeteners, and flour, make up the largest sectors within Mexico’s food processing industry. Additionally, healthier eating and wellbeing continues as a growing trend, paving the way for export opportunities of plant-based products rich in proteins, added vitamins, minerals, and biotics.
