The Mexico coffee has been subject to the influences of the rust disease. To improve the earnings of local planters in recent years, Mexico will make the macadamia nut replace the coffee planting.

The geographical environment and climate of Huauchinango State, Tlapacoya State, Xicotepec State and Zihuateutla State are suitable for the macadamia nut planting and the production of macadamia nut in Mexico has obtained the relatively good development opportunity. Especially in the coffee planting region in Puebla State, the macadamia nut has become the second largest commercial crop with the planting area as 543 hectares and the output value as up to 11,200 pesos per ton.

At present, the largest consumer groups of macadamia nut are Asia, U.S.A. and Mexico. The Mexican government is formulating policies to support the development of the macadamia nut industry.
