Mérida, Yucatán — Yucatán’s economic activity grew by 2.1 percentage points in the first quarter of 2026, placing the state seventh among Mexico’s 32 federal entities, according to the latest state economic activity indicator (ITAEE) from INEGI, the national statistics agency.
The ITAEE, released by INEGI, tracks economic performance across the country’s 32 states, measuring primary activities (agriculture and extractive industries), secondary activities (industry), and tertiary activities (services and commerce).
Agriculture was the main driver of growth in Yucatán, with the sector jumping from -1.2% in the same period a year earlier to 14% in the first quarter of 2026 — a swing of 15.2 percentage points.

In the secondary sector — which includes industry, mining, construction and manufacturing — Yucatán posted a 1.8-point increase, ranking ninth nationally. The tertiary sector, covering services and trade, held steady.
