Mennonite farmers in Chihuahua, are significant contributors to Mexico's pecan production, which has seen substantial growth in recent years. Mexico has become the world's largest pecan producer, surpassing the United States. In 2019, Mexico produced more pecans than the U.S. for the first time, and production continues to increase by as much as 20,000 acres annually. Chihuahua alone produces about 60% of Mexico's pecans, leveraging advanced agricultural techniques and high-density planting to maximize yield. This robust production supports both local and international markets, particularly the United States and China​.
