Description:
The
state of Sinaloa is located along the Pacific Ocean in northwestern
Mexico. This long, narrow territory is considered the agricultural
capital of Mexico. Sinaloa is the number one producer of vegetables
and the second leading producer of cereal in the nation. Over
three quarters of the state’s landmass is devoted to
agricultural production. The city of Culiacan is host to the
annual Expo Agro Sinaloa, Mexico’s largest agricultural
exhibition. The event is held the last week of January.
Fishing and the production of seafood are also key to the
economy of Sinaloa. The largest canning facility in Latin
America is located in the port city of Mazatlan. Over 22 million
pounds of shrimp and 45 thousand tons of tuna are produced
and exported from Sinaloa each year.
Sporting 3 major airports and the important port of Mazatlan,
Sinaloa is also heavily reliant on tourism. With a warm climate,
abundant fishing and hundreds of miles of coastline and beaches,
it’s no wonder that Sinaloa is a popular vacation destination.
