Mexico Rice Market Growth

The growing demand for rice due to its being a staple food in Mexican cuisine, increased dependency of market on the imports, and rising demand for pre-cooked rice due to busy lifestyle are some of the influential market drivers.

Consumers are becoming more conscious of the ecological and health impact associated with agricultural practices. This growing consciousness leads to a preference for products cultivated in a way that is considered both healthier and more sustainable. In the case of rice, this refers to a transition towards organic and non-GMO varieties, which are cultivated without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilisers.
