Authorities highlighted the growing adherence of products to the Organic Products Law.
On Sunday, the Mexican Agriculture Ministry (SADER) informed that some 40,000 small and medium-sized producers managed to cultivate 210,504 hectares with organic products in the states of Chiapas, Sonora, Jalisco, Sinaloa, Baja California, Michoacan and Oaxaca during 2025.

From those crops, they consolidated an offering of some 370 fresh products of plant and animal origin and more than 1,700 processed products.
The Organic Certification Bodies (OCO) conduct assessments to prevent product counterfeiting, provide assurance to consumers, and add value, which facilitates access to better national and international markets with recognized standards.
Organic foods include coffee, honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, eggs, chicken, goat milk, cow milk, and beef, all produced without pesticides, fertilizers, hormones, or genetically modified organisms.
Organic production remains dynamic thanks to the collaboration between the SADER, 40,000 producers, and 21 OCOs, which achieved more than 370 certified fresh products and 1,700 processed goods in 2025.

The text reads, “FAO leads new projects to make agriculture more resilient and sustainable, supporting over 1 million people. US$58.8 million from the Global Environment Fund drives actions in several countries, including Mexico.”
At the Tenth Annual Meeting of the National Service for Agrifood Health, Safety, and Quality (SENASICA), authorities also highlighted the growing adherence of products to the Organic Products Law (LPO), which provides guarantees regarding the integrity of food.
Thanks to this law, Mexico and Canada exchange organic products without dual certification, as their systems are equivalent. Currently, 33% of production corresponds to coffee, while avocado, orange, mango, and agave approach it in market relevance.
Certified wild harvesting covers 271,799 hectares, of which Quintana Roo and Campeche lead with chicle, Jalisco with agave, and Baja California with yucca.
There are 1,700 certified processed products, including juices, beverages, essential oils, edible oils and fats, ice cream, popsicles, flours, dairy products, sauces, condiments, dried fruits, dehydrated vegetables, cereals, and grains.
