Cross-border trade

The proximity to Mexico generates a significant commercial flow that includes the import of manufactured products, construction materials, and consumer goods, as well as the export of Belizean agricultural products.

Free trade zone and manufacturing

The district has free trade zone activity that processes and re-exports goods, generating demand for specialized logistics services for handling import and export cargo.
