Mexican mango exports to the US projected to surpass 350,000 tons in 2026

Mexican mango exports to the United States are flowing normally, says the country’s Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development, with shipments projected to exceed 350,000 tons during the 2026 season, set to end in September.

This estimate accounts for 19,734 orchards in the states of Colima, Chiapas, Guerrero, Jalisco, Michoacán, Nayarit, Oaxaca, and Sinaloa, covering a planted area of over 252,000 acres for export to that country.

In 2025, Mexican mango exports to the United States exceeded $559 million.

The strict Mexican mango path across the border

As of March 30 of the current year, 45,230 tons have already been shipped, and 161 lots have been rejected due to sanitary issues, which is equivalent to 0.82 percent of shipments to the United States. In 2025, the total rejection rate was 1.57 percent.

National Service for Agri-Food Health, Safety and Quality (Senasica) staff, along with the US Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS), work together to inspect shipments at the start of the export process. Additionally, Senasica uses biological control tools to prevent pests from entering shipments sent across the border. 

Mexican and US health authorities signed the Work Plan in 2020, which Senasica is responsible for enforcing, verifying compliance with phytosanitary requirements, and granting pre-authorization to interested parties.
