Notably, high-tech and electronic products account for approximately 72% of its total exports, with a growth rate significantly exceeding the national average.
Secretary Blanco also highlighted Jalisco's proximity to the Port of Manzanillo, a vital gateway in Latin America handling roughly 50% of Mexico's cargo volume, which could serve as a critical logistics hub connecting Mexico with Taiwan and Asian markets. Furthermore, the Guadalajara International Airport ranks first in the nation for cargo volume. Both parties also exchanged views on the overall investment landscape, industrial cooperation, and future trade and economic exchange opportunities between Taiwan and Mexico.
