Due to limited local output, the United States of America has boosted its imports of Mexican cauliflower and broccoli. Water limitations and increasing temperatures are posing serious obstacles to broccoli cultivation in California, which produces 90% of the domestic harvest.
Lower domestic supply pushed broccoli prices higher in the first two months of 2022, but the rising trend abruptly ended in March 2022, and the downward trend has continued thereafter.
The United States imports Mexican cauliflower and broccoli to suit domestic demand. In reality, in the previous three years, US imports of cauliflower and broccoli from Mexico have surged significantly.
In 2021, the US shared 96.9% of Mexico’s total cauliflower and broccoli exports, according to our database. From clear and accurate data, get a complete picture of US imports of cauliflower and broccoli from Mexico.

Cauliflower and broccoli imports from Mexico in the United States by year
Imports of fresh-headed cauliflower and broccoli from Mexico to the United States increased from 2018 to 2021, according to our database. In 2021, American imports of these edible vegetables accounted for 96.9% of all Mexican exports of cauliflower and broccoli.
Farmers from other exporting markets who have witnessed growth in the US market have profited from the rising import trend.
Domestic production in the United States is challenging
Fresh-headed cauliflower and broccoli imports compete directly with domestic production throughout the year because of their seasonality, which means that the prices of these edible vegetables in the United States are highly dependent on export market pricing.
Because US producers’ input costs are greater than those in conventional export markets, the significant drop in prices of cauliflower and broccoli when US output is available directly impacts US farmers.
Mexico is the main supplier of cauliflower and broccoli to the United States, accounting for 96.9% of the entire market share in 2021 with a volume of 238 million tonnes, followed by Canada with 3% and Guatemala with 1%.
In Mexico, there are two distinct seasons for broccoli production: March to May and August to October. As a result, the peak season for Mexican broccoli exports is in November and December.
However, in 2021, the peak export season was hampered by bad weather conditions, which resulted in a drop in output at the end of the year, affecting export numbers immediately.
