    EL PASO, TX, March 12, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Secretary of Economic Development of the State of Baja California, Carlo Humberto Bonfante, recently recorded an informational audio podcast with the Tecma Group of Companies.

During the conversation, Secretary Bonfante explained Baja California economic development in terms of its drivers and scope.

According to the top economic development official, "the major motor of Baja California economic development is its manufacturing sector." Major industries in the State include globally recognized production capabilities in the aerospace, automotive, electronics and medical device industries. "Although manufacturing is the source of twenty percent of Baja California's GDP, and is the main engine of our growth other contributors to Baja California economic development are alternative energy, agriculture and agro-industry, as well as tourism and medical tourism," he went on to explain. In national terms Baja California industries produce twelve percent of Mexico's exported manufactured goods.

During the podcast, Tecma's guest went on to point out that Baja California economic development is concentrated in several communities. The cities of Tijuana, Tecate, Mexicali, Ensenada and Rosarito all offer features and benefits that will appeal to foreign investment. In recent years, significant expenditures have been made to upgrade logistics capabilities between these cities and the rest of the world in the form of highway and airport improvements, as well as the upgrade of seaports and facilities for shipping by rail.
