Support for rural communities

As a fundamental part of sustainability and social responsibility, we support our main ingredient:  corn.  We assign numerous human, technological and material resources to  agricultural development.

GRUMA supports the development of poor agricultural regions in Mexico through training programs, promotion of the development and integration of farmers in projects of corn and wheat that adds value to the farmer as well as the company.

Through this support, we have put technological alternative  within reach of farmers in the States of Chiapas, Mexico, Oaxaca, Puebla, Quintana Roo and Tlaxcala through theParcelas Demostrativas (Trial Plots) where varieties are sown  allowing agricultural processes to be demonstrated in the field,  in order to produce  greater crop harvest yields and improve the  quality of the grain.

Likewise, we have reinforced this concept with training programs for 1,182 farmers in these States, which prepare them to learn about the new, better quality varieties of wheat and corn,  which are more resistant to pests and  have a greater demand on the market, which improves the sales of these grains and consequently, increases their income.
