Forward Guidance
The industry is expecting second quarter Mexico volumes to remain lower than prior year, pricing is expected to be slightly higher on a sequential basis, and February per-box margins have returned to historical levels.
Positive Outlook

- February per-box margins have returned to historical levels.
Challenges Ahead
- The industry is expecting second quarter Mexico volumes to remain lower than prior year by amounts comparable to those experienced in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to supply constraints associated with the Mexican harvest.
- Still experiencing higher non-ERP related costs, including inflationary and infrastructure costs, that will continue to pose some headwinds over the near-term.
