Collection: Mexico

Mexico is the world’s largest producer and exporter of chili peppers, accounting for approximately 40% of global production and export volumes topping 1.1 million tonnes annually. Major growing states include Chihuahua, Sonora, and Zacatecas, and open-field production far exceeds greenhouse yields.

Key varieties are jalapeño, serrano, poblano, habanero, and Anaheim, with both fresh and processed products shipped globally. The US is the dominant export market, but Mexico also supplies Canada, Spain, and Guatemala. Mexican pepper production integrates modern innovation with local culinary traditions, driving robust growth and supporting both rural livelihoods and value-added industries.
