Tomatoes are currently the foremost profitable crop in
Mexico. Though the total number of acres of coffee is much greater than the
acreage of organic (cherry) tomatoes, it realize a higher turnover than the
harvest of coffee beans.
The dry space of Baja California forms the core of the
organic agriculture sector. In 2010 cherry tomatoes, tomatoes, basil and
different tiny crops combined, realized a turnover of roughly thirty million
greenbacks. However, the organic coffee in Chiapas solely brought in thirteen
million dollar in exchange.
According to the figures within the latest publication of
Mexican Statistics Agency INEGI: ‘The Mexican Food Sector in 2011’. Since 1996
there has been an annual increase within the total organic acreage of on
average quite seventeen percent, from 18,331 hectares fifteen years ago to well
over 326 thousand hectares in 2008. In that very same amount, the amount of
organic growers increased tenfold, to one hundred twenty five thousand.
Coffee was the primary crop that was aspiringly transformed
to cultivation without chemical fertilizer and pesticides. In 2010, Mexico had
well over fifteen thousand hectares of organic coffee. Cherry tomatoes and
basil followed at a reserve with 648 and 366 hectares respectively.
The Mexican organic agriculture of standard tomatoes is fanciful.
In 2008 the North American country harvested over 20 thousand tonnes of organic
tomatoes. Nevertheless, in 2010 this range dropped to only over ten thousand
tonnes. However, the cherry tomato is doing nice and showing a gentle growth.
In 2010, Mexico yielded a complete harvest of thirteen thousand tonnes.
