More and more Canadian companies are taking advantage of the emerging business opportunities in Mexico, our NAFTA partner, with its strengthening economy and growing middle class. In Latin America, Mexico has the second largest and strongest economy and ranks first in the region in international business experience.
Manitoba Trade and Investment organized an outreach mission to Mexico, which focused on the states of Jalisco and Nuevo Leon. Working closely with our partners in Mexico arrange one-on-one meetings with agents, importers and distributors in both states were arranged.
During this unique mission we attended the 51st Livestock Trade Show in Jalisco; “Expo Ganadera”. Expo Ganadera showcased bovine, swine, ovine and equine and has become the leading livestock trade show in Mexico. This show is held in the state of Jalisco which is the number one state in Mexico for swine production and number two for bovine production. The show attracted people in the industry from across the country. Official Expo Ganadera web site in Spanish:

Northern Mexico is home to an important livestock industry in the country and Monterrey, capital of Nuevo Leon, is in the economic centre of the area. The proximity of this region to the biggest market in the world, the United States, has required of their livestock industry to be highly competitive.
