On July 18, the Japanese government published an official statement calling for public opinion to officially authorize the importation of Mexican bell peppers and fresh chilies to Japan. The consultation period runs from July 18 to August 16, 2025.
If there is no unfavorable opinion, and in conjunction with the relevant federal authorities, an analysis will be conducted so that the work plan for the export of this vegetable can be authorized during this period.

It is important to mention that the AMHPAC, in coordination with CAADES-CIDH, CIAD, vegetable growers, and SENASICA, has been working for more than six years to provide the industry with more opportunities to expand its markets.
Alfredo Diaz Belmontes, AMHPAC´s CEO, commented that the result was the demand for bell pepper detected during the recent visit to Japan at the FOODEX 2025 trade fair, where AMHPAC member producers held meetings with buyers from that country.
Diaz Belmontes added that the association has always been committed to seeking new business opportunities for its members and will continue to promote and support this project in order to complete the process of opening bell pepper exports to Japan, as well as work to identify new markets and demand for products in other countries.
