  • Conducted a floristic inventory of main markets in the Yucatan Peninsula.
  • Collected data on commercial offerings, focusing on fruits, vegetables, and other plant products.
  • Analyzed dietary preferences and consumption patterns within the population.
  • Fruits and vegetables dominate the commercial offerings in Yucatan markets.
  • Low demand for roots, tubers, legumes, and aromatic plants was observed.

Abstract

Fruits and vegetables were the most important part of the commercial offering in the YP, due to the population's dietary preferences. However, a low demand for roots, tubers, legumes, and aromatic plants were observed, most possibly due to the changes in eating habits, the industrialization of consumption, and/or limited access to these products; demonstrating a supply focused on everyday products needs and a high local demand.
