Veracruz Today
Today, the state of Veracruz, rich in natural resources, is an important component of Mexico's economy. Approximately 35% of Mexico's water supply is found in Veracruz. In addition, the state has four deep-water ports and two international airports. Although Veracruz is an important source of metals such as iron and copper, a great deal of its mining involves non-metallic minerals as sulfur, silica, feldspar, calcium, kaolin and marble. The northern part of Veracruz is a major oil producer.
The area around Jalapa, the capital, is one of Mexico's major coffee-growing areas while the central part of the state is characterized by a traditional agricultural development and the presence of long standing industrial centers such as Cordoba, Orizaba and Rio Blanco, whose main activity is textile manufacturing.
The port of Veracruz, with its attractive climate, cuisine, and archaeological sites, is a favorite seaside resort for Mexican and foreign tourists. Veracruz has a very advantageous location along the Gulf of Mexico. Seventy-five percent of all port activity in Mexico takes place in Veracruz. With this prosperity, Veracruz is a major destination for Indian laborers who come from other parts of Mexico to find gainful employment. For this reason, it is likely that the indigenous-speaking population will remain a significant part of the state's labor force.
