Tequila Shortage On The Way

Author Davy

Margarita lovers could be really upset very soon, as it’s lining up to be a long summer if the speculation is true. A possible tequila shortage is looming, and it’s all because of extreme dryness in Mexico, the main producer of agave—the plant used to make tequila.

Agave plants are typically very resilient and can handle dry conditions. But, the weather in Mexico has been so hot and dry lately that even these warm weather plants are struggling. As a result, there may be less agave available, making it harder to find your favorite tequila, and now we have a problem!

Tequila’s popularity has been on the rise worldwide, which means that more agave is needed to produce it. But the dry weather in Mexico is making it challenging for farmers to grow enough of this essential crop. Many farmers are working overtime to try to combat the challenges posed by the weather, but many factors are just out of their control.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like the situation will improve any time soon. The dry weather is expected to continue well into the spring, making it even more challenging for agave farmers to cultivate their crops. The global tequila market is over $10 billion annually, so those with major stake in it are doing their best to figure out solutions.

The Mexican government has started providing support for agave farmers and investing in research and technologies that can help crops adapt to changing climate conditions. This support could include promoting sustainable farming practices, enhancing irrigation systems, and developing drought-resistant agave varieties. Mexico knows how many people rely on the crop for their livelihood and are taking steps to help farmers and those in the supply chain to keep the tequila coming. READ MORE
