Top Qualities to Look for in a Strawberry Supplier from Mexico

Discover the key qualities that define a reliable Mexican strawberry supplier—and how Berry Lovers delivers consistency, performance, and shelf-ready formats for international markets.

Why Mexico Is a Preferred Source for Fresh Strawberries

  • Extended harvest window: November through June, with peak volumes from January to May
  • High-elevation cultivation: Regions like Jalisco and San Luis Potosí offer cooler climates and longer daylight hours
  • Short transit times to the U.S. and Canada: Deliveries within 1 to 4 days ensure fresher arrivals
  • Export infrastructure: Certified farms, strict handling protocols, and flexible logistics programs

What to Expect from a Reliable Strawberry Distributor

A strategic strawberry supplier offers more than just volume. For importers and distributors, key indicators of reliability include:

  • Visual consistency: Uniform size, conical shape, and deep red color across shipments
  • Shelf life: Extended postharvest behavior—up to 15 days under optimal cold chain conditions
  • Structural integrity: Firm texture and compact internal structure that resists exudation
  • Certifications: Full traceability and GlobalG.A.P. certification
  • Shipping frequency: Berry Lovers exports 4 to 6 times per week to key North American destinations
