5 Products in Which Mexico Is the Leading Exporter

Due to its geographical position, trade agreements, and proximity to the world’s largest economy, our country is an exporting powerhouse. This has strongly contributed to the widespread presence of the “Made in Mexico” label worldwide.

The importance of exports to our country’s economy is crucial on several levels: it fosters the development of local markets, incentivizes production and trade, benefits consumers, generates thousands of jobs, etc.

Thanks to the significance given to this activity, Mexico is increasingly approaching the Top 10 global exporters and has managed to reactivate every customs agency in Mexico with the aim of overcoming the sudden downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Therefore, based on 2021 data, we have compiled a list of the products that our country has produced the most to bring to the rest of the world.
