Aug. 29, 2013 - PRONicaragua, the official investment promotion agency of Nicaragua, recently organized a work mission in Mexico City from September 23rd to the 26th with the objective of presenting Nicaragua as a competitive platform for the production and exports of manufactured and agroindustrial goods towards the world's main markets.

“It is important for us to directly communicate with companies interested in exported manufacturing and agribusiness products, primarily to the markets of Mexico, the U.S. and Central America", expressed Vinnitsa Leytón, Investment Promotion Director of PRONicaragua.

On September 25, PRONicaragua organized an investment forum in the Intercontinental Presidente Hotel in the Mexican capital in order to present the competitive advantages Nicaragua offers sectors such as light manufacturing and export-oriented agroindustry.
