Briefly, the Gulf of Mexico is hugely important to the economy of Mexico. The Gulf of Mexico borders the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche and Yucatan. For the most part, these are rich oil-producing states. Substantial agriculture comes from Veracruz state. Oil is Mexico's second or third most important driver of the economy (the ratings change with oil, remitances and tourism swapping places frequently). The ports of Tampico, Veracruz and Coatzacoalcos are among the most important in the country.
