How to Source Berries from Mexico: A Step-by-Step Guide for Buyers
Share
Mexico’s Role in the Global Berry Supply Chain
Mexico has become a critical player in the global fresh berry trade — especially for buyers in the U.S. and Canada who seek off-season availability, consistent quality, and proximity to market. At Produce Lovers, we help importers, wholesalers, and distributors establish predictable sourcing programs with certified Mexican growers.
Through our Berry Lovers brand, we offer strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries with seasonal harvests aligned to key demand windows.
Step 1: Define Your Product and Specs
We begin by understanding your needs:
- Berry type(s): Strawberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry
- Preferred formats: Clamshell size, master case, labeling requirements
- Target arrival markets and delivery terms
This ensures alignment between your QA standards and our supply base before the first shipment moves.
Step 2: Match With Certified Growers
Produce Lovers works with a network of GlobalG.A.P. and PrimusGFS certified growers across Mexico’s central highlands. Based on your specs and volumes, we assign supply from farms that meet your requirements for quality, consistency, and compliance.
Step 3: Plan Logistics and Delivery
Our team supports multiple shipment models:
- FOB Mexico: You manage transportation from our facility
- Delivered programs (DDP): We coordinate to your receiving point in the U.S. or Canada
All shipments include traceability data, packing lists, and certification documents for your compliance process.
Step 4: Execute and Review
Once the program starts, we maintain close communication with your team for:
- Arrival confirmations and in-season updates
- Ongoing QA coordination and feedback
- Claim and replacement protocols if needed
Our goal is to become part of your sourcing team — not just a vendor.
