Answer 2

Natural Resources:

Mexico has some of the world's largest deposits of petroleum, silver, copper, gold, lead, zinc and natural gas; it is a major producer of timber and hydroelectric power and has minor, however commercially important deposits of minerals such as gypsum, iron, tin and sulfur.

Crops:

The most important crop would be corn, followed by wheat and rice. Soybean is also grown, but on a lesser degree. Most cereal crops are for internal consumption, but demand is so extensive that corn and wheat are imported from the United States.

Mexico also cultivates Oranges, apples, table grapes, tangerines, grapefruit, pears and raisins; followed by bananas, mangoes, lemons, limes, watermelons, peaches, nectarines, plums, avocados, pineapples, and strawberries. Most fruit grown in Mexico is exported to the United States, Europe and Japan markets during the winter season.

Industries and their location:

Food and Beverages, Aerospace, Electronics, Tobacco, Chemicals, Iron and Steel, Petroleum, Biotechnology, Mining, Shipbuilding, Electricity, Defense Products, Textiles, Clothing, Motor vehicles, Computers, Consumer Durables, Information Technologies, Tourism and Ecotourism.

As for heavy and high-tech industry like steel, cement, automobile, aircraft and semiconductors, there are three main industrial regions in Mexico. One is located at the Mexican central plateau and spans a corridor of 300 miles that includes the cities of Guanajuato, Leon, Queretaro, Toluca, Mexico City and Puebla.

The other two major industrial centers are the Monterrey-Nuevo Laredo corridor (north of the country, up to Laredo, Texas) and the Guadalajara-Mazatlan corridor, to the north-west of Mexico City and near the Pacific Ocean.

Also, there are the border cities (Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, Matamoros) where most of the industry located there are assembly plants of electric and electrodomestic products.

Other - however minor - industrial region is the Coatzacoalcos-Veracruz-Campeche corridor (on the Mexican Gulf coast), where petroleum-related products are made.
