Although theweakening of the Mexican peso relative to the U.S. dollar has affected U.S. exports, anincrease in feed usage continues to drive the soybean market.Soybean oil production in 2009/2010 is expected to increase as a result of reducedcrush and an increase in soybean imports from the United States.

5.- Fresh Fruit (apples, pears, grapes) (1000 Metric Tons)2006/07 2007/08 2008/09Total Market Size 1/ 1,037 1,154 1,094Total Local Production 678 796 715Total Exports (grapes) 112 177 156Total Imports 359 358 380Imports from the U.S. 2/ 233 308 3421/ PSD Post Statistics, Foreign Agricultural Service2/ World Trade AtlasThe United States is the largest supplier of apples to the Mexican market, in spite ofantidumping duties, and this trend is projected to continue. However, apple imports for2009/2010 are expected to decrease about 13 percent from previous levels as a result oflower demand for imported fruit and expected higher prices. Apple import levels willdepend heavily on the peso/dollar exchange rate. The domestic supply of pears is alsosupplied by imports, primarily from the United States and this trend is expected tocontinue. In addition, the United States is the main exporter of table grapes to Mexico,but U.S. table grape exports will suffer this year due to the 45-percent tariff imposed inretaliation for cancellation of the U.S.-Mexico Cross-Border Trucking DemonstrationProject.Best Products/ServicesReturn to topMexico imported US$16.6 billion of U.S. agricultural, fish, and forestry products in 2008.This figure for 2009 is expected to be lower, approximately $13 billion, as importscontinue to be affected by the economic downturn and the adverse exchange rate. Thedecrease in U.S. exports has occurred across many product categories such as wheat;coarse grains; soybeans and products including meal and oil; feeds and fodders(excluding pet foods); animal fats; sugars, sweeteners and beverage bases; snackfoods; poultry meat; dairy products; fresh fruits and vegetables; fruit and vegetablejuices; wine and beer; logs and chips; softwood and treated lumber; salmon and salmonproducts; crab and crabmeat. However, 2010 imports of many products could see animportant turnaround if the Mexican economy comes out of the recession as expected.
