Delicias

Gruma, through Grupo Industrial Maseca, will invest US$79 million in a new tortilla plant in Delicias, Chihuahua, Mexico. The facility will occupy five hectares, create about 500 jobs, and produce tortillas, tostadas, and totopos for export to the United States.

Querétaro ranked as Mexico's most competitive large city in the 2026 Urban Competitiveness Index (ICU), followed by Puerto Vallarta, La Paz, and Delicias in smaller categories. The index, compiled by the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMCO), evaluates 72 metropolitan areas using 35 indicators across six sub-indexes, noting improvements in infrastructure and governance but declines in economic growth and increased violence.
