Farming in Mexico
Mexico's agriculture ranges from rain-fed maize on small plots to large irrigated export operations. Maize is grown in almost every state, with Sinaloa, Jalisco and Chiapas among the important areas. Sugarcane is concentrated in Veracruz, Jalisco and San Luis Potosí, while Jalisco's Tequila region is the home of blue agave.
Michoacán and Jalisco are known for avocado and berries, and Baja California, Guanajuato and Sinaloa supply vegetables and berries to export markets. Citrus, coffee in the southern states and sorghum in Tamaulipas add to the mix.
Map My Crop supports growers, agribusinesses, insurers and agencies in Mexico. Block-level and field-level monitoring suits both large orchards and the many small plots that make up much of the country's farmland.
Main crops
Avocado
Orchards in Michoacán and Jalisco, where block-level health, tree gaps and irrigation matter for export fruit.
Berries
Strawberries, blueberries and raspberries from Michoacán, Jalisco and Baja California, grown for export under tight buyer specifications.
Agave
Blue agave in Jalisco takes years to mature, so long-term plot records and plant counts are valuable.
Maize
The staple crop, grown from small rain-fed plots to large irrigated fields in the northwest.
Sugarcane
Grown in Veracruz, Jalisco and San Luis Potosí, with harvest timing central to mill planning.
Tomatoes and peppers
Field and protected vegetables in Sinaloa and Baja California, largely for export.
Citrus
Oranges and limes, with large areas in Veracruz.
What makes it hard
Water scarcity in the north and centre
Much of northern and central Mexico is dry, and irrigation relies on aquifers and reservoirs that are under pressure in many places. Evapotranspiration-based scheduling and water stress maps help growers apply water where and when it is needed.
Rain-fed farming, drought and hurricanes
Rain-fed maize depends on the timing of the summer rains, and a late or weak onset affects yields across whole districts. Hurricanes and heavy rain on the coasts damage fields and orchards. Both growers and insurers need fast, field-level damage evidence.
Export traceability and land-use pressure
Buyers of avocado, berries and coffee ask for documented sourcing. Cattle and coffee supply chains into the EU also face deforestation due diligence. Polygon-level records of where products come from, and whether land cover changed, answer these questions.
How Map My Crop helps in Mexico
Avocado and berry block monitoring
Track canopy health block by block, count trees and find gaps, and flag stress early. Records are kept per block, which suits export programmes that need a clear history for each orchard.
Irrigation planning in dry regions
Use soil moisture, evapotranspiration and forecast rain to set per-field or per-zone water plans for irrigated vegetables, cane and orchards, and compare water applied with water needed.
Maize and sugarcane field monitoring
Follow growth stage, water stress and vegetation condition through the season. Advisories can be sent by app, WhatsApp, SMS or voice call, and read out in the local language.
Drought, hurricane and flood risk for insurers and lenders
Score parcels for drought and flood exposure, validate claims against weather and imagery, and watch a portfolio for stress after disbursement or cover starts.
Traceable sourcing and deforestation checks
Link plots to shipments with polygon-level sourcing maps, and watch the sourcing area for land-cover loss. Useful for coffee, cattle and other supply chains where EU buyers ask for deforestation-free evidence.
How it starts
- Tell us your states, crops and whether you manage orchards, field crops or a supplier network.
- We map or import field and block boundaries and start monitoring from the current imagery.
- Your team receives maps, alerts and advisories in the platform, in the languages and channels you choose, with irrigation, risk or sourcing modules added as needed.
Frequently asked questions
Can Map My Crop monitor small plots as well as large orchards?
Yes. Boundary mapping works down to 0.02 ha, so small plots can be mapped as well as large regular parcels. Tree crops are monitored block by block.
Does it help with avocado and berry export requirements?
It gives you dated, block-level records of crop condition, tree counts and land-cover change, which support documentation requests from buyers. It does not replace any buyer audit or certification.
Can farmers get advice in Spanish?
Advisories and alerts can be sent by app, WhatsApp, SMS or voice call, and the platform supports many languages. Confirm Spanish content with us when you book a demo.
