This document addresses the situation in Mexico. The OCOP product is amaranth. This report emphasizes the significance of amaranth as a priority crop in Mexico, rooted in the country’s pre-Hispanic heritage and recognized as a superfood by the United Nations. Grown by small-scale farmers in central and southern regions, amaranth thrives in rain-fed systems and showcases resilience to drought, salinity, and high temperatures.
