Production cost is much lower
Leading country for tomato exports; has significant impact on U.S. Market
Open field yields have risen from 20,000 lbs per acre in 1990 to 25,000 lbs/acre in 2000 and to 37,000 lbs/acre in 2010.
Yield increased 50% in 10 years

Mexico competition
U.S. tomato production decreased from 3324 million lbs in 2009 to 2759 million lbs in 2012
Tomatoes imported increased significantly from 2623 million lbs to 3379 million lbs over the same period; increased by 750 million lbs;
Farm gate value of Florida tomato industry and the national
values slumped sharply, from $620 to $268 million;
Market share of Florida tomatoes shrank due to the dumping of Mexican tomato to U.S. domestic tomato industry.

Mexico Protected Agriculture Policy
The Mexican greenhouse horticulture received substantial amounts of governmental subsidies.
In 2009,SAGARPA announced a strategic project for protected agriculture.
For greenhouses: $1.2 million Peso/ha, up to $3 million peso per
project ($246,000).
Furthermore, specialized training and technical assistance eligible for subsidy of 50% of total cost, up to $100,000 peso (roughly $10,000).
The same subsidy applies for insurance for greenhouses, market studies; certification of GAP and GMP; promotion of products originating from protected agriculture, etc.

Benefits of Protected Agriculture ◦ Higher Yield
◦ The benefits in production, quality, pest control, and reduced risk exposure to climate change
◦ Higher market price

Increasing government regulation Methyl bromide ban caused technological shocks, impacted
yields, risks, and costs
Increase in production costs
high labor rates, high transportation costs;
Cost disadvantage compared to Mexico (plenty of cheap labor force).
