Puebla agro-industrial and solar energy initiatives

Overview

The government of Puebla, under Governor Alejandro Armenta Mier, has initiated strategic projects to diversify the state economy and enhance food sovereignty through industrial transformation and renewable energy.

One primary initiative is the construction of the Center for Innovation and Transformation of Agricultural and Aquaculture Products (CITRAA) in Aquixtla. This 110-million-peso project aims to process raw materials, such as tomatoes, into value-added goods like pastes, sauces, ketchup, and potassium capsules. This transition is intended to protect local producers from market price fluctuations and integrate them into larger industrial chains for domestic and export markets.

Additionally, the state launched the ‘Energía para el Campo’ project in Tianguismanalco. This project features a vertical agrovoltaic system utilizing bifacial solar panels to reduce electricity costs for irrigation by approximately 65 percent.
