Industry Research Report on the Food Processing in Mexico.

Value Chain outline

The food processing industry in Mexico is a complex and interconnected system that encompasses the entire journey of food from primary production to the final consumer. The value chain involves a series of stages where value is added to raw materials through various activities. Understanding this chain is crucial for analyzing the industry's dynamics, identifying key players, and understanding the flow of products.

The general value chain in the agro-industrial sector, including food processing, can be outlined in several key steps:

1. Primary Production: This initial stage involves the cultivation of crops, raising of livestock, fishing, and forestry, providing the raw materials for the food processing industry.
2. Processing/Transformation: Raw agricultural products are transformed into processed food items. This is the core of the food processing industry and includes a wide range of activities and segments.
3. Distribution and Storage: Processed food products are transported and stored before reaching consumers. This involves logistics, warehousing, and inventory management.
4. Commercialization/Retail: This stage involves the sale of processed food products to the end consumer through various retail channels.
5. Food Service (HRI - Hotels, Restaurants, and Institutions): This segment focuses on providing processed food products to businesses that prepare and serve food to consumers.
