Exporter Guide

December 26, 2023

Mexico was the third largest agricultural export market for U.S. exporters in 2022, with total agricultural exports valued at nearly $28.5 billion. Mexico’s economy grew by 3.1 percent in 2022, returning to near pre-pandemic levels. Mexico’s economic recovery is spurred by the strong peso, continued economic integration with its northern neighbors, and growing hotel, restaurant, institutional (HRI) and food processing sectors. In 2022, over 38 million international tourists visited Mexico, with revenue from tourism totaling over $26 billion. The HRI sector continues to recover as consumers increase travel and return to their normal dining habits. Mexico remains among the top 15 food processors worldwide, and the third largest in the Americas following the United States and Brazil. Mexico’s robust food retail sector offers continued opportunities for U.S. exports.

Único Sabor Americano

Único Sabor Americano was created to make it easier for people in Mexico to recognize and enjoy the wide variety of high-quality, healthy, and delicious foods and beverages imported from the United States. While many already know that U.S. products are trusted worldwide for their quality, it’s not always obvious which items on store shelves actually come from the U.S. That’s where the brand comes in.

More than just a label, Único Sabor Americano celebrates the connection between Mexico and the United States. By highlighting cultural elements that both countries share, the brand helps people see U.S. foods as part of their daily lives. The goal is to show that American products can seamlessly complement local traditions and flavors, offering variety, nutrition, and inspiration in everyday meals. In doing so, Único Sabor Americano promotes not only great products, but also the strong bond between our two nations.
