Graco Ramírez Garrido A.
Morelos’ state Governor
ith the government of Morelos Vision (Visión Morelos), we, morelense
people, have a historic opportunity: achieve, through coordinated work
and a sum of efforts, to improve the life quality of everyone in our state.
I want to emphazise here what distinguishes the New progressive Vision
(Nueva Visión). It’s about a new way to make politics, one that considers imperative for
a democratic government to recover citizen’s rights: the right to education, to security,
to health, to a proper nutrition, to a clean environment and to culture.
I’m convinced that this is the correct way and I’m determined to take any measure
within reach to turn Morelos into an ideal place to work, to create, to study and investigate, for cultural and health tourism. We’re investing on infrastructure, developing industrial poles, activating the production in the fields and planning urban growth. All of
this respecting environment.
To achieve these goals, we’re investing on health, education, culture, science and sports.
Making, in this way, better citizens.
I’m sure of that.

INTRODUCTION MORELOS
Morelos is the state where the sun rests, spreading its warmth between the mountains of fertile fields and valleys of
eternal flowers; it was the space that embraced Olmec culture, which settled in here, establishing its home to develope a
culture rich in traditions and founding millenary cities.
A coveted land because of its strategic character and obligated route for commercial encounter, it was for
Tenochtitlán’s Mexicas a conquer celebrated with their Gods and, for the same reason, it was an enclave snatched
during the Spanish Conquer. The only thing that remained
untouchable was its climate, that temperated caress that
made the conqueror and captain general of New Spain,
Don Hernán Cortés, succumb to the pleasure of living in
Cuernavaca, where he ordered to build te summer Palace
for the royal couple in 1526.
The growth of Morelos’ main cities, such as Cuernavaca, Tepoztlán, Cuautla and Yautepec was influenced by different
chapters of the national history. Through centuries, important events happened here, turning Morelos into a territory
that saw the arising of big heroes, like “Caudillo del Sur”
(Caudillo of the South), Emiliano Zapata, a figure that boosted and brewed Mexican Revolution in 1910. Also, given its
strategic location and enchanting beauty, it was the residence place of many other personalities, such as Maximilian
of Habsburg who, along with his wife, Carlota empress, settled their Royal Palace in the mansion of Jardines Borda (Borda Gardens), their summer residency.

C
onstruction sector has participated actively in Morelos’
state growth, accomplishing the projects of public and
private infrastructure required by a population avid to
work for and contribute to the community’s future. Investment keeps steady, concentrated in important projects that promise a boost for state economy. If construction and real estate
sector work as a thermometer to know the situation of an economy, then Morelos is in the healthiest condition possible.
For real estate sector, housing developements have been a constant since Hernán Cortes and Maximilian Habsburg decided to
settle their summer houses in Cuernavaca. Luxury houses are
acquired by businessmen looking for a place to rest far from the
hustle and bustle of the cities they live in. Besides, there are real
estate projects outstanding for their design and ecological, sustainable concept, emphasizing technology for the production of solar
energy and extensive green areas. Likewise, important housing
projects for middle, middle-high and high social class are in process of construction, in different cities of the state.
Committed to keep the development level, our government, with
the participation of private iniciative, keeps an ambicious agenda
of infrastructure projects in the whole entity.
Huexca Gas Pipeline and Thermoelectric works are part of the
strategic infrastructure to generate poles of dynamic developement. The project will put energy with more quality and less impact on the environment within reach of firms settled in Morelos,
allowing the developement of an industrial corridor at a regional

level; particularly, the east region of the state will be more attractive
for the capital of world class firms. They represent a joint investment
superior than 680 million dollars, with the capacity to supply 320
million cubic feet, daily, of natural gas and an electric potential of
400 double circuit kilovolts. An efficient system that turns 60% of
the used fuel (natural gas) in electricity. It has the advantage of
being of low environment impact, compared with other energetic
systems; lower costs, since it uses an easy handling fuel and has
operating flexibility.
It’s worth to highlight the impact that the completion of the Estación
Multimodal del Ferrocarril (Multimodal Train Station) will have, and
for which restoration works are being made in huge parts of the railways. This project is part of an ambitious infrastructure plan that
includes the four methods of population and products’ transport, to
integrate the different economic regions of the state and make them
more competitive.
We are also adapting La Pera-Cuautla highways and the one that
goes from Amecameca to Cuautla, to allow a greater connectivity between the regions to cover the needs of the firms settled in Morelos.
Another impulse comes from the green and primary sector support
projects. The construction of Agroparque Industrial Yautepec (Yautepec Industrial Agro Park), the Ecozone in Cuernavaca’s downtown
and Industrial Verde development, in Yecapixtla, all of them corroborate a new vision committed to economic and environmental
sustainability. The last one promises to install 6 new sustainable
firms and to generate 6 thousand new jobs in its first phase.

Since more than 40 years ago,
CIVAC is one of the best organized
industrial parks of the country. It
concentrates firms of different industrial
branches, like pharmaceutical, automotive,
chemical and industrial agriculture.
PHARMACEUTICAL SECTOR
One of the most important sectors for Morelos’ state is the
pharmaceutical one. Its surge responds to an attractive government policy which tries to encourage the settlement of
firms dedicated to investigation, developement and commercialization of chemical or biopharmaceutic products used for
diseases’ treatment.
Support programs like Knowledgement Economy (Economía
del Conocimiento) and some others, the infrastructure offer
thought to cover the sector’s logistic needs, qualified human
capital for the different areas and a safe atmosphere for investment, have detonated the investment of important international firms. Currently, 28 pharmaceutical firms have operations in morelense territory.
It’s worth to underline the importance of infrastructure such as
Ciudad Industrial del Valle de Cuernavaca CIVAC, (Industrial City
of the Valley of Cuernavaca), one of the most important industrial parks in the state, where prestigious pharmaceutical firms
have found the ideal space to develope their processes.
Another important active in Morelos is Universidad Autónoma
de Morelos (Morelos’ Autonomous University), where speciali-
zed students in the area are formed. Educative offer, with a
degree and postgraduate in pharmacy, allows to prepare students with the required habilities and knowledgement to participate in the health sector. This goes together with investigation and specialization infrastructure, which also encourages the formation of highly qualified professionals to cover
the demand of high impact posts in the pharmaceutical firms
in the state.
All this variables add up to stimulate the vocation of Morelos state for Investigation and Developement, where pharmaceutical industry and health sector have found the perfect environment to operate. In the future, it is expected
that pharmaceutical cluster will be consolidated so it turns
into the most important one in the country, integrated by
the world’s most recognized firms in the sector, where
avant-garde in medical and pharmaceutical investigation
will have Morelos’ signature.
Our job has a huge impact in many people’s lives, since it’s
about medical and scientific advances that will benefit life

MORELENSE RICE WITH O.D
The rice of Morelos, which produces an excellent rice
grain, actually counts with Denomination of Origin (or
Designation of Origin, O.D)
Production: In 2014, production increased up to 28%,
going from 11 thousand 790 to 15 thousand 100 tons,
which means 4 thousand 310 additional tons.
F
ertile Morelos’ fields have a long tradition with the state’s farmers. A soil rich in minerals and with a powerful irrigation
system enable the cultivation of nopal, corn, onion, agave,
amaranth and sorghum on a large scale. Thanks to technology, plantations of sugar cane, rice and avocado have been mastered,
and in the near future we will implement a series of projects with important investments to develope infrastructure to increase the value of
harvests for more than 45 thousand farmers in the state.
Important firms focused on agro-industry are settled in the
state, managed by morelenses by heart who know the value of
work and who have a special link with this land. Between the
most important ones, Grupo Nopal San José stands out, with
an estimated nopal production of 25 tons daily. In the indigenous area of Hueyapan, Mexican Tea Montes firm is located,
focused on the production, marketing and exportation of exotic herbs like epazote, guaje and spring onion (chives). Herbalplant is a firm that produces fresh aromatic herbs, having the
American market as the main client since 1995.
Sugar cane is also very important for the state. Sugar cane harvest,
known as zafra, is the agro-industrial activity with the most impact, because of its economic income. That’s why we try to turn
sugar refineries into responsible, efficient, environmental friendly
firms, and to take entirely advantage of the system-product of the
sugar cane in the cogeneration of energy and ethanol, and to modernize, automate and increase the production value for 45 thousand morelenses producers.
Between the products with the most added value, avocado stands
out, a fruit harvested by more than 3,200 producers in a surface of
4 thousand hectares. State avocado production reaches 35 thousand tons annually, which represent an income that exceeds 385
thousand pesos. To improve production levels, there has been collaboration with the producers of the north part of the state, to improve the quality of the product, implementing quality controls to
reach a better price in the market. Besides, they have a Collection
Center equipped with refrigeration system to help with the management of the fruit.
As a total, 28 municipalities of the state are dedicated to the production of citrics, reaching high levels in the productión of persian
sweet lemons, holding the 13th place in a national level, and the
20th in the production of oranges. There are 930 hectares where
citrics are cultivated and a harvest that reaches 6 thousand 816
tons of persian sweet lemon and 7 thousand 850 tons of orange.
Thanks to the organization of producers, El Pochotillo Citrics Ranch
Packing and Collecting Center (Empacadora y Centro de Acopio Cítricos Rancho El Pochotillo) was built, which lets them to export 40
tons a week of persian sweet lemon to international markets.
Another important activity in the state is the production of ornamental plants, prized national and internationally because of the
quality of its processes. Bamboos, bouganvilles (bugambilias), geraniums, gladiolus, gardenias, palms, poinsettias, daisys, laurels,
to mention some species, are taken care of by expert hands, in
open plantations or in technified grandhouses.

T
he strengthening of security and access to justice for
morelense population has been a fundamental piece
to ensure the economic development of the state.
Right actions and decisions executed by our state government have shielded Morelos from criminality.
We have concentrated our efforts on purging and professionalizing security elements, a fact that has restored the citizens’ and businessmen confidence, thanks to the public security strategy we have implemented, detonating investments
in the last few years.
All the state’s actors, from industry to commerce, tourism,
communication media and civil society, recognize the importance of keeping a peaceful environment, where the rule of
law is respected, both things required when trying to attract
more international investment. This is the only truth up to
which the state’s security policy is adjusted to nowadays.
One of the most important measures was the presentation of
the state’s prevention strategy, prepared by the state executive, and where the guidelines to fight and prevent criminality
in all of the state’s municipalities were established. A main
pillar of this strategy recognizes the importance of developing
an integral plan, where actions in education, culture, health
and sports are basic to keep insecurity rates downward. At
the same time, the coordination between the three government levels and the citizens’ active participation are required
to identify problematic areas and to design programs encou-

raging and empowering population. Under this guideline, in
the beginning of the year an announcement was made about
the investment of 205.5 million pesos, destinated to strengthen this aspect and improving justice access.
A main decision to shield the state was the inclusion of the
program Mando Único (Unique Command), which relied on a
series of actions to clean the police force and a series of incentives for the professionalization of the most committed
elements of the population, including more opportunities of
job growth and salary increases. Actually, the state’s police
force increased from 750 elements to 5,500 police officers
complying a strict training and approving the confidence control. This actions were coupled with an increase in the number
of surveillance cameras, from 40 to 700 in just two years.
Included in the programs and works considered for the state,
the construction of the new Expert Services Unit of the State’s
Prosecutor, the State’s Institute of Public Advocacy and the
offices of the Units of Cautionary Measures for Teenagers and
Adults outstand.
To sum up, the strategy on Public Security in Morelos has reversed the noxious effects of criminality, alongside with
efforts to speed up the access of population to justice.
Undoubtedly, perseverance and professionalism of the elements dedicated to protect citizens and keep the rule of law
have leaded to a new environment of prosperity and the arrival of important investments to the state.

spanish) and 577 belong to the State System of Investigators.
The impulse of a policy for educative development has made possible to count with more than 100 teachers and doctors getting their
degrees each year.
In the light of such a promising reality, each time more youngsters
decide to continue their studies and reach the highest educative level, building a morelense generation of highly qualified people. Their
participation in crucial areas is highly required by firms focused on
the technologic, pharmaceutic and automotive sectors.
Besides, they contribute to the diffusion and technology transfer for
the social development of the population and to the improvement
of the state’s public policies.
The most recent innovation in Morelos is the Scientific an Technologic Park (Parque Científico y Tecnológico, INNOVACyT, in spanish),
which has a Technologic Center and a knowledge Transfer Office
that allows the formation of solid collaboration networks between
businessmen, technologists and scientists. In the Park there is a
