Agro-industries and horticultural cluster: an opportunity for Sinaloa's development

Abstract

Sinaloa, remarkable protagonist in fruit and vegetable crops, it produces 38 percent of national tomato, is second producer in mango and provides half of exports of vegetables; but it lacks political and agro-industrial horticultural clusters, because little delves into markets hortofrutícolas processed and is deficient in enterprises locally established providers of inputs and machinery for horticulture. It is contrasted the loss of economic dynamism that such shortcomings imply for Sinaloa, with the case of Almería, Spain.
