A city with a drive to succeed

By the mid 1960s, cotton was no longer the engine that drove Mexicalis economy. Today vegetable crops are at the top of the list of agricultural products for export. Because of this, it is only natural that Mexicali is the site for the most important agricultural exposition in the region, Agrobaja, which takes in march.

Thanks to our geographical location, the decree of this border region as a tax free zone for imports, and the North American Free Trade Agreement, Mexicali has seen a boom in the assembly plant industry, which in Mexico is known as the “maquiladora industry”. Mexicali is recognized around the world in the field of  electronics and state-of-the-art technology. In addition to assembly plants, Mexicali also excels in manufacturing activities.

Mexicos most important truck and tractor-trailer manufacturing plant is located here. The retail industry is a dynamic and important part of our economy. Modern shopping centers have sprung up all over the city, offering visitors a great variety of quality services and products.
