With the participation of producers, entrepreneurs and researchers from different parts of the world, the Governor of the People, Libia Dennise Garcia Munoz Ledo, inaugurated the 31st edition of the Guanajuato Agro-Food Expo 2026, an event that opens business opportunities, brings new technologies and strengthens the work of those who make the fields produce.
From November 10 to 13, Irapuato will host this exhibit, which brings together more than 750 national and international exhibitors and expects to receive over 126,000 visitors. Since it started in 1996, the Expo Agro-Food has become a space for sharing knowledge, learning about new production methods, and establishing business relationships.
“What is truly extraordinary is not just the numbers, the positions we occupy; what is truly extraordinary is our people, the families in our countryside, their stories of struggle and work,” said the Governor.
Libia highlighted that Guanajuato ranks seventh nationally in agricultural production and fifth in livestock production. Furthermore, during the first half of 2026, the State’s agro-food exports exceeded $1.456 billion.
The Governor reiterated that the People’s Government will continue to support producers through training, technology, and opportunities to market their products, to ensure that the growth of the agricultural sector translates into better living conditions for their families.
Libia invited all to visit the Marca Guanajuato pavilion, where 27 companies are participating, showcasing products made in the State.
Mayor of Irapuato, Lorena Alfaro Garcia, noted that the Expo strengthens the city’s economic activity, from businesses in the agro-food sector to hotels, restaurants and shops that receive visitors.
Lilian Ibarra Retana, general director of the Board for Agricultural Development of Guanajuato, recognized the founders and those who, for 31 editions, have maintained this event as a space to connect producers, companies and researchers.
Libia Dennise gave special recognition to rural women, both for their work in food production and for their growing participation in leading projects and businesses.
“In the People’s Government, we are clear that supporting the countryside will continue to be a priority, and we do so by listening to those who live and produce in our rural communities,” said Libia.
This edition was attended by the Founding Councilors of the Board, Piero Zarattini Dorigo, Ernesto Usabiaga Reynoso and Alejandro Suarez Gonzalez; directors; Officials and legislators as well as businesspeople from the agricultural sector, students and the general public.
