Maya Maria de Lourdes Acosta, delegate of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA) of Guanajuato, said that about 500 ha of strawberry are technologically advanced in Irapuato. However, it could have a three-fold increase, based on the existing demand. They installed 500 ha of walk-in tunnels for strawberry production, which are drip irrigated and certified, meeting the highest quality and health standards. The delegate of SAGARPA in Guanajuato said that the main markets for Irapuato strawberries are the United States, European countries like Spain, and Asian countries such as Japan, China and Korea.Source:
