The Government of Zacatecas conducted a trade mission in Pharr, Texas, to identify export opportunities for companies and producers from Zacatecas, as well as to learn about the requirements and processes for entering the United States market.
Representatives of the state’s Secretariat of Economy participated in meetings with organizations, authorities, and institutions involved in international trade, with the aim of analyzing new distribution channels and potential opportunities for commercial cooperation.
The agenda included meetings with the Reynosa Association of Customs Brokers (AAARAC), U.S. customs authorities, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and Pharr authorities.
During the meetings, export processes and the requirements that products must meet to access the U.S. market were reviewed. Opportunities for cooperation and commercialization were also identified for companies and producers from the state.
The trade mission included representatives from the Industry, Foreign Trade, and Handicraft Commercialization departments of the Secretariat of Economy, headed by Jorge Miranda Castro.
One of the objectives is to provide support to productive sectors interested in exporting, while also expanding their markets and strengthening the conditions necessary to compete internationally.
The administration of David Monreal Ávila stated that opening international markets is part of its efforts to expand commercialization opportunities for products made in Zacatecas.
The trade mission also seeks to establish connections that will allow state products to enter new international distribution channels and generate added value, while strengthening supply chains related to productive sectors.
Following the meetings held in Pharr, the Secretariat of Economy will continue connecting companies and producers interested in exploring commercial opportunities in the United States and learning about the procedures required to export their goods.
