If you are considering exporting your food products to Mexico, Monterrey should be your entry point. Considered the main industrial area in Mexico due to the huge concentration of industry and commerce, Fortune magazine has named it one of the most ideal Latin American cities for doing business with great opportunities for trade and investment.
Monterrey represents around 4% of the population in Mexico, but it accounts for more than 8% of the GDP. This makes it a location with a 4 million population looking for new differentiated quality food products. Its proximity to the Texas, U.S. border, makes Monterrey an excellent hub for trade in Mexico. Likewise, it possesses one of the best infrastructures in Mexico. Income per capita in Monterrey is the highest in the country which means more people buy imported high-end products than anywhere else.
Monterrey is home of two of the most important supermarkets in Mexico, Soriana and HEB. Likewise convenience stores like 7-eleven and OXXO call Monterrey home. In the same fashion, Monterrey’s hotel industry has grown dramatically over the past years; the same applies for the many high-end restaurants opening every day. The size of Monterrey and the disposable income in the region makes it the best city to start your operations in Mexico. Once you are ready for Monterrey, you are ready for the rest of Mexico, and Prospectiva Comercial will take you there as your best partner with deep knowledge and local connections for a successful venture.
