Mexico has established itself as the sixth largest producer of beef globally, contributing 2.9% of total world production. In 2025, national production reached 2.3 million tons, with Veracruz and Jalisco serving as the leading states. 

The United States remains the primary commercial partner for Mexican beef. To maintain food safety standards for both domestic and export markets, the government employs the Federal Inspection Type (TIF) certification for companies involved in animal product processing. 

Recent monitoring by the Federal Consumer Protection Agency (Profeco) in September 2026 noted significant price variations for meat products across the country.
