In Mexican agriculture, fluctuating cycles are common, with periods of high yields and market prices, followed by challenges such as pest attacks, floods, or market oversupply. The 2024 season has been particularly challenging for the berry industry, characterized by low prices and increased production costs, further exacerbated by climate change and pests.
The industry has had to adjust its projections downwards, with blueberry growth expected to remain in double digits, albeit lower, while the raspberry sector faces paradoxical scenarios of low prices amidst continued production. The XXXI Guadalajara International Blueberry Seminar, scheduled for June 5 and 6 at the Hard Rock Hotel, will address these issues.
