ARIn 2024, the United States accounted for 68% of Mexico's coffee exports, making it by far the largest market for Mexican coffee, according to data from the Fideicomisos Instituidos en Relación con la Agricultura (FIRA) sourced from the UN Comtrade database. Other major buyers included Belgium (13.6%), Germany (7.8%), France (3%), and Italy (2.4%). The U.S. consumed approximately 25.4 million bags of 60 kilograms of coffee during the 2024/25 cycle, per information from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Meanwhile, Mexico's domestic coffee market is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 5.9% between 2025 and 2029, reaching $1.08 billion in size, driven by rising interest among young consumers, increased demand for organic products, and a focus on higher quality. However, coffee production growth has been modest, increasing just 1.9% year-on-year to 1.08 million tons in the 2024/25 season, according to the SIAP agency under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. This slow production growth contrasts with the industry’s expansion, prompting calls for greater productivity and profitability for producers.
