The 2020 fig harvest in the Vizcaíno Valley of Baja California Sur, Mexico, saw a dramatic decrease of 50% in production and over 30% drop in price, falling from 180 to 120 pesos per kilo. This decline is primarily due to unprecedented hot weather conditions, the hottest in recent decades, and Covid-19's impact on the Chinese market, a key consumer. The temperature exceeded previous years' records, causing stress to the trees and dehydration to the fruit. As a result, the harvest is projected to yield only 200 tons, less than half of the previous year's production. Furthermore, the aging of the fig orchards, with many trees no longer being productive, and the challenge of finding new markets due to low local demand and the fig's seasonal nature complete the list of challenges faced by local farmers.
