Mexico sets minimum export prices for fresh tomatoes

Mexico City, August 10, 2025 — The Ministry of Economy (ECONOMÍA) and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (AGRICULTURA) published in the Official Gazette of the Federation (DOF) an agreement that sets minimum export prices for fresh tomatoes of Mexican origin.

The measure seeks to protect the national production plant, avoid distortions in the international market, and guarantee the supply to domestic consumption, after the termination, in July 2025, of the Agreement to Suspend the Anti-Dumping Investigation in the United States.

The minimum price (in dollars per kilogram) will be:

• Cherry Tomato: $1.70
• Tomato round: $0.95 | With stem: $1.65 | Cluster: $1.70
• Roma tomato (saladette): $0.88
• Grape tomato: $1.70
• Other varieties (Cocktail, Campari, Kumato, Mini Roma, Heirloom, Pera, Medley, San Marzano, others): $1.70

Among the key points of the agreement are that it applies only to definitive exports, it does not seek to restrict volumes or set maximum prices, but to maintain order in the sector’s foreign trade. In addition, prices will be reviewed annually or earlier if market conditions require it.

This Agreement entered into force as of its publication in the DOF on August 8, 2025.

With this action, the Government of Mexico, headed by President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, through ECONOMY and AGRICULTURE, reinforces its commitment to agricultural competitiveness, decent employment in the countryside and the country’s food sovereignty.

This agreement has the support of all tomato producer associations, which participate in the export market to the United States.

Federal Secretaries Marcelo Ebrard and Julio Berdegué are grateful for the collaborative work between Mexican tomato producers and exporters, who were present at all the working groups that were held until this Agreement was finalized.
