Guanajuato international trade expansion

Overview

The state of Guanajuato, Mexico, has implemented initiatives to expand the international presence of its small and medium-sized enterprises (MiPymes). Through a program led by the Coordinator for Foreign Trade Promotion (COFOCE) and the state Secretariat of Economy, 100 companies across sectors such as agro-industry, fashion, and leather goods received the ‘Marca Guanajuato Internacional’ certification to meet international standards.

Following these efforts, Guanajuato reported a 17% increase in exports to Canada. Officials attribute this growth to market diversification strategies and increased participation in international trade fairs. The Director General of COFOCE, Luis Antonio Vargas Zavala, noted that political tensions involving the United States have allowed Mexican industries to establish more direct trade relationships with the Canadian market.
