There is a shared view of rejection of the US tariff threat, and there is also consensus on the steps that must be taken to regain competitiveness and continue growing as an industry.
There is a general consensus that the Mexican industry is a consolidated one, and its producers and technicians possess a high level of knowledge regarding the crop, which they have acquired over the past ten years through training and experience.
The 2025th International Seminar of Blueberries Consulting XNUMX, which has just concluded in Guadalajara, could become a turning point for the Mexican industry, because, on the one hand, there is a shared vision of rejection of the US tariff threat and, on the other hand, there is also consensus on the steps that must be taken to regain competitiveness and continue growing as an industry, climbing to leadership positions in the global berry market.
The seminar program spans two very intensive days. In addition to providing an in-depth analysis of the commercial situation of the Mexican industry and its global positioning, it strikes a good balance, with the main technical, agricultural, and cultivation issues of interest to Mexican producers being addressed in depth in the various presentations.
Blueberries are particularly vulnerable to quality loss due to their morphology. Their thin, permeable cuticle is coated with easily removable waxes, making them susceptible to dehydration. Their high surface-to-volume ratio promotes water loss, reducing firmness both pre- and postharvest, with more pronounced effects in some specific varieties.
The international context in which it is taking place, marked by the tariff war and climate impact, makes this event of great interest to producers, entrepreneurs, and various stakeholders involved in the Mexican blueberry industry and the agricultural export industry in general.
The program aims to address producers' challenges; however, the uncertainty caused by the threat of tariffs and U.S. protectionism will also be a topic of in-depth discussion and analysis.

The global blueberry market is healthy; the world's cultivated area is steadily growing; prices have regained stability; and consumer demand continues to rise in all markets. However, the threat of tariffs and protectionism remains a major challenge for the industry.
