What is happening to New Mexico chile?


New Mexico, USA

Source: New Mexico Chile Association

  • Industry is in a steep decline
  • 34,500 Acres were harvested in 1992, only 9,600 were harvested in 2012
  • China is trying to corner the world oleoresin market which accounts for 30% of NM acreage
  • Foreign companies are taking advantage of their reduced regulation and cheap, plentiful labor
  • Imports account for about 82% of chile consumed in the U.S. – automation is the only solution
  • Sometimes chile is sold labeled as “Hatch” or “NM Grown” when it comes from outside NM or even the U.S.
