Due to its location, human capital and strength in the supply chain, Nuevo León is a strategic point to produce beer, so it would cause great economic damage if said activity is no longer carried out in the entity.

Joana Chapa, director of the Center for Economic Research (CIE) of the Faculty of Economics of the UANL, explained in an interview with El Horizonte, the advantage that the state has even to obtain supplies for the elaboration of this traditional product.

"It has an economic logic, companies decide to locate in a certain place because it is logical for them, from the point of view, to obtain the inputs that are required as well as the human capital of the market to which they supply," he said.

In addition, he continued, there are other companies in the area linked as suppliers of supplies, such as glass for everything that has been the containers, so it would be a significant damage if it left the state. Here are the inputs, there is the human capital and everything that is required…their location has an economic logic, you cannot manage as a decree that it moves from place to place”.

The repercussions of beer production being carried out in areas such as the south of the country are diverse and even consider an extra cost of transportation to bring it to markets such as Nuevo León, from where it is exported to countries such as the United States and is highly consumed.

For now, an analysis shows that at least close to 30,000 jobs, between direct and indirect, will be at risk if the proposal to limit beer production materializes.

According to an analysis based on data from the Institute for the Technical Development of Public Treasury (Indetec) and the Center for Economic Research (CIE) of the UANL Faculty of Economics, 900,000 direct and indirect jobs are generated in Mexico thanks to the brewing industry.

Nuevo León participates with 3% of the contracts in this sector, which means that about 30 thousand direct and indirect jobs would be at risk.

There are other affected items within the production chain, for example, malt suppliers, who participate with 15.1% of the process, or those dedicated to the manufacture of glass containers and ampoules, with 13.6% participation in the production of this drink in the country.

Nuevo León contributes 11% of the added value of the national beer industry.

Although companies such as Heineken Mexico and Grupo Modelo have not wanted to comment on this issue, the director of the Chamber of the Transformation Industry (Caintra), Guillermo Dillon, stated that "right now the industry based in Nuevo León will continue in Nuevo León and it will continue in Nuevo León, producing in Nuevo León, as they will do in Coahuila or Chihuahua”.
