Mexico Agriculture Sector Report 2017/2018

The agriculture, livestock and fishing sectors play a key role in the Mexican economy with their value added accounting for 3.6% of the GDP at the end of 2016. The primary industry is among the largest employers in the country, sustaining 13.2% of the total jobs in 2016. During the period it was one of the most dynamic sectors of the economy with a value added expanding at a rate of 3.6% y/y, while the GDP rose by 2.3% y/y. This positive performance was largely triggered by the double-digit growth of the sector’s export value throughout 2016. In addition, this development has been supported by the solid expansion of domestic demand that stimulated the production further. As a result of this, the dependence on imports gradually subsided and the agriculture, livestock and fishing sector closed 2016 with a trade surplus, the first since 1995.
