The southeast of Mexico is emerging as a key region for increasing the production of basic crops due to its favorable climatic conditions and water sufficiency, particularly as other areas of the country face water stress. This has led to an increase in interest from both national and international investors, including from Holland, Spain, and Israel, to develop joint projects with the Mexican agro-industrial sector. Despite the pandemic, Mexico's agroindustrial production has grown by 4.8% compared to other sectors. The National Chamber of the Transformation Industry (Canacintra) is advocating for the promotion of basic grain production in the south and southeast of the country and the acceleration of specialized agricultural production technologies. Canacintra is also organizing the First International Agroindustrial Forum 2022 to bring together experts in the sector.
