Tomato production in Mexico for MY 2010/11 is forecast to reach 2.2 million metric tons (MMT) while the MY 2009/10 production estimate is slightly less than 2.2 MMT due to weather conditions that created delays in the spring tomato crop. Meanwhile, exports for MY 2009/10 are expected to be slightly higher than MY 2008/09 as a result of the frost that damaged the Florida crop in January 2010. Mexican greenhouse/shade house tomato production has become an important factor in terms of total tomato production and area dedicated to this production could exceed 3,200 hectares in 2010.
