Background on Key Figures and Relevance
Rubén Rocha Moya, the current governor of Sinaloa, Mexico, recently joined President Claudia Sheinbaum at the Mañanera del Pueblo in Mexico City’s National Palace to present the Economic Development Poles for Well-being.
Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, the President of Mexico and a prominent figure in the country’s political landscape, launched this initiative as part of Plan México. The program aims to provide infrastructure and services in various states, promote investments, and facilitate them through fiscal incentives.
Topolobampo’s Economic Potential and Indigenous Communities
During his speech, Governor Rocha Moya emphasized Topolobampo’s potential for wealth generation and regional development, particularly benefiting neighboring indigenous communities.
- Topolobampo already has established economic activity, with a German-owned fertilizer company and the upcoming Mexinol plant, which will be the world’s largest metanol producer.
- The plant is expected to invest $3.6 billion, further boosting the region’s economy.
- Topolobampo’s strategic location offers ample land for additional businesses, fostering wealth creation and regional well-being.
Rocha Moya highlighted the importance of ensuring that wealth generation translates into improved living conditions for indigenous communities, primarily the Mayo Yoreme ethnic groups, residing in nearby towns such as Ahome, El Fuerte, and Choix.
Governor’s Commitment to Indigenous Communities
