Agropark, unique in the American continent, is an agroindustrial Park developed for high-tech green house clusters, which has been designed as an integral —all comprehensive solution. The Park is geared towards the cultivation and production of flowers and vegetables which wish to succesfully compete in the most sophysticated markets in the world, like the USA and Canada.

The Park is strategicially located in the geographic center of Mexico in the State of Quereatro, on the Queretaro-Bernal highway, on km 28. —Only 125 miles from Mexico City, 24 miles from Queretaro, and 13 miles from the international airport of Queretaro. In relation to its proximity to the United States, the Park is located aproximately 562 miles from the border. (Laredo, Texas).

Agropark has a total surface of 805 hectares —of which 300 are currently in development, with a productive potential of 170 hectares. The size of the lots vary from 6.5 to 12.5 hectares.

The Park is situated at 1900 meters above sea level and it enjoys optimal year-round weather conditions for the production and harvest of flowers and horticulture, 365 days a year. The average yearly temperature is 30 Cº, with relatively low humidity and lows averaging 6 Cº. Yearly precipitation averages at 500 mm.

The Park has all of the necessary resources, infrastructure and guaranteed assurances for its operation, which extend to its installations and the well management of the green houses. Specifically: water, energy, natural gas, telephone and internal urbanization.

In addition, the Park has a central administrator that coordinates internal security as well as the proper functioning of the infrastructure and the negotiation of general permits and paperwork with the relevant authorities. All of this, with the sole purpose of facilitating the immediate installation of the green houses and their optimal operation.

The development has a hidraulic web system that helps to distribute water and to efficiently channel it where needed. This consists of 4 deep water wells with rights and capacity of 4 million m3. It also has a web of rainwater and drainage channels. Guidelines stipulate that each greenhouse must have a reserve of four days, as well as recycle the water that it uses for irrigation and the treatment of residual waters.

Some of the main advantages worth noting are:

• Internal administration and security
• Internally paved roadways
• Medium tension line of electric distribution
• Natural Gas availability
• Hidraulic web for efficient water supply and distribution
• Infrastructure to channel and to store rain water
• Phytosanitarian regulation and promotion of biological controls
• Secured closed access and closed fenced perimeter
• Certainty, guaranteeing the exclusive right and use of water. (Agropark owns all of the entitlements that assure this natural resource on behalf of the park and it is in a position to obtain more resources).
• Differentiation of tariffs on electricity
• Four lane access highway
