From January to August 2026, 53 exporters in Mexico and Peru shipped US$ 376.25 million of pecans, 39,490 tonnes at US$ 9.52 per kilo. The price rose 5.0% from the same months of 2025 and the tonnes fell 2.6%. Mexico shipped 99.9% of the value.

I went through the customs export records of both countries, shipment by shipment, to see who exports pecans, to whom and at what price. I counted pecans in shell and shelled, from January 2025 to the latest month each country has published: August 2026 for Mexico, October 2026 for Peru. Comparisons between years use January to August of each year. The price per kilo is the value divided by the net kilos.

Since January 2025, 89 exporters shipped US$ 935.45 million of pecans in 5,832 shipments, 104,403 tonnes, to 199 buyers in 39 countries. Of them, 58 shipped in 2026 and 19 shipped for the first time in 2026, with US$ 11.61 million.

If you import pecans, this list shows who sells, at what price per kilo, to which markets and how many buyers each exporter already serves.

If I bought pecans, I would start with the exporters that already serve many buyers in several countries: Pecaninis, Star del Norte, Humphrey Pecan and Rancho Pecana Products. Then the exporters that grew in 2026, such as Galeana Valley Pecan, and the ones that ship organic pecans.
