Cancun, Quintana Roo — The government of Quintana Roo has launched a call for applications from micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the food and beverage sector to receive training and support to begin exporting their products.

Governor Mara Lezama Espinosa announced the initiative on social media, encouraging business owners to take their companies “beyond borders.”

“If you own a food and beverage MSME in Quintana Roo, this is your opportunity to strengthen your business with specialized training, personalized guidance, and support to prepare for exporting,” Lezama wrote. “Take the next step toward new markets and grow your company with #QuintanaRooExporta2026.”

The program aims to develop the necessary capabilities for 30 selected MSMEs to compete internationally. It offers two support tracks:

  • Modalidad A: 10 businesses receive up to 180,000 pesos (about $9,500) for physical capital and promotional materials.
  • Modalidad B: 30 businesses receive export training, development of national and international nutritional tables, and a diagnostic assessment of their export potential.

Applications are open until July 17 through an online form. The program includes specialized training, personalized advisory services, and an export potential diagnosis.
