SINALOA, MX - With a vast network of growers located in Sinaloa, Veggies From Mexico (VFM) is currently gearing up for the start of the 2025–2026 season. The operation’s grower partners will begin with seedlings in July for a wide variety of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, string beans, hot peppers, and eggplants, among other offerings.

“In recent years, our state has experienced a significant drought. According to weather forecasts, we expect to receive substantial rainfall this summer,” shared Georgius Gotsis, Chief Executive Officer, Veggies From Mexico. “Fortunately, vegetable production has been the least affected, as high-tech irrigation systems, protected agriculture, and other technological tools that help conserve water are being used. For the 2025–2026 season, we expect production volumes similar to last year’s. In the case of corn production, which serves the local market, there will be more challenges due to the lack of water.”

As Georgius notes, now is the ideal time for growers to sit with retailers and plan this year’s sales through contracts with attractive prices for both farmers and consumers. Weekly harvest and sales scheduling by volume allows for efficient planning, streamlining of processes, and maximizing profits for all parties involved.

Another key driver of category growth at retail is consumer education.

“We must continue working to share with the North American consumer that Mexican veggies production has been known for over 100 years for its high quality, flavor, and nutritional value,” Georgius added. “It is essential that they know our produce is backed by food safety and social responsibility standards and certifications. This is especially important in light of the critical situation regarding potential tariffs on our exports to the United States, where consumers could ultimately be the most affected.”
