Freight Transport in Mexico: Positioning in Nearshoring Amid Global Trade Changes

The Strategic Importance of Freight Transport in Mexico First, within the framework of the 2023 National Congress, focused on "Foreign trade solutions in Mexico's and the world's logistics chains," José Tajonar, president of ANIERM, primarily highlights the crucial relevance of freight transport in Mexico in the current international trade landscape. Nearshoring and Microsourcing: A New Perspective Tajonar therefore underlines the evolution from nearshoring to microsourcing, where individuals with specialized skills also become micro poles, boosting productivity through freight transport in Mexico. Infrastructure and Mexican Ports: Pillars of Logistics Success Tajonar also highlights the quality of Mexican port infrastructure as a key factor in consolidating the country as a strategic logistics center. Despite the challenges, the port system has demonstrated effectiveness, supporting the growth of freight transport in Mexico. Key ports such as Manzanillo, Lázaro Cárdenas, Veracruz, and Altamira are especially mentioned as crucial elements for the country's trade and logistics success. Post-Pandemic Transformation: The director of Grupo CIL, on the other hand, also highlights the post-pandemic transformation, emphasizing the need to apply agile methodologies in freight transport in Mexico. The transition from physical to digital as well as adaptation to new dynamics are presented as essential elements for operational efficiency in global operations. Consolidating Positions in the Global Market Finally, despite tensions, panelists agree that Mexico can consolidate its position in the global market, especially in the context of nearshoring, highlighting the country's industrial and port dynamics and its attractiveness through freight transport in Mexico. Conclusion: Control Terrestre Optimizes its Logistics Strategy in Mexico In this scenario as a consequence of global transformations and strategic focus on international trade, the Mexican logistics company, Control Terrestre, also seeks to stand out by capitalizing on the opportunities present in Mexico's current logistics environment. Taking advantage of the importance of freight transport in Mexico, Control Terrestre has equally intelligently integrated agile methodologies and nearshoring trends in its operational approach. The adoption of logistics technologies, the optimization of its services through key Mexican ports, and also adaptability to new post-pandemic dynamics reinforce Control Terrestre's position as a fundamental piece in Mexico's logistics chain.
