Mexico's rise in veg sector

摘要

The industry is expected to top 6,000 hectares within a year. Look out, Canadian greenhouse vegetable growers. Mexican greenhouse vegetable production is on the rise - fast. That was the chilling warning Mexican greenhouse vegetable grower and consultant Mario Steta brought B.C. growers at the Pacific Agriculture Show. "We're moving from seasonal to full-year suppliers. Our quality and consistency has increased, we have improved our food safety, and most of our packing plants are now meeting or exceeding HACCP standards," Steta said.
