Mexico Launches Antidumping Investigation into U.S. Apple Imports

Mexico's Ministry of Economy initiated an antidumping investigation into U.S.-origin apples in January 2026. This action followed a request from the Regional Agricultural Union of Fruit Growers of the State of Chihuahua. The inquiry covers imports from April 2024 to March 2025, during which U.S. apples accounted for 97.5% of Mexico's total imports. The national apple harvest is growing, with Chihuahua accounting for 85.7 percent of national volumes through August 2026.

The investigation focuses on the competitive landscape of the national apple harvest. The findings relate to the market conditions governing the national agricultural sector. The inquiry into U.S. imports could affect trade flows and market volumes for the national produce.
