Greenhouse horticulture has developed rapidly in Mexico since 2004. For Dutch suppliers off greenhouse equipment and installations and policy makers, it is interesting to get an overview of the regions with potential for further development. An important factor is how local climate conditions match with crop requirements, and the possibilities provided by greenhouses for improving this fit. In this study, climate conditions in Mexican regions are described, as well as crop requirements. The Mexican central plain seems most suitable for both high tech greenhouses and medium tech greenhouses, together with smaller areas elsewhere. With (high-tech) cooling device, also parts in Chihuahua are interesting. . Wageningen UR Greenhouse Horticulture Adres : Violierenweg 1, 2665 MV Bleiswijk : P.O.
