Aguascalientes agricultural development

Entities: Isidoro Armendáriz · Aguascalientes · Consejo de Viticultores de Aguascalientes · Tere Jiménez · Rafael Galván Nava

Overview

In late June 2026 the state of Aguascalientes announced the creation of a Mezcal and Agave Advisory Council aimed at expanding export markets for its native spirits. The council is intended to coordinate producers, improve standards, and promote the region’s agave‑based products abroad.

By late July 2026 the focus broadened to other crops, with authorities reporting that Aguascalientes had become the fifth‑largest grape producer in Mexico. Government programs supplied growers with certified vines, refrigeration, packing equipment and irrigation, helping to raise both yield and quality. The two initiatives illustrate a coordinated effort by the state government to diversify and strengthen its agricultural sector, targeting both traditional agave products and emerging viticulture outputs for domestic consumption and export.
