Editing Navojoa (section)

==Economy==
Navojoa is part of the large economic center known as the Mayo Valley, which together with Ciudad Obregón and the Yaqui Valley, form one of the most productive agricultural regions in Mexico.

Although [[agriculture]] remains the main source of income, the Navojoa region is increasingly dependent on industrial foreign investment and [[aquaculture]], especially [[shrimp farm]]ing.

Two large swine production companies that export mainly to the United States, Germany and Japan, a recycled containerboard mill and box factory privately owned by Sonoran investors, as well as one brewery belonging to the [[FEMSA]] group (recently acquired from Heineken), are among the main industries in Navojoa.

The city gains importance through its geographic diversity featuring close access to coastal, desert, and southwest mountainous areas as well as its close proximity to the United States and the neighboring state of Sinaloa. Navojoa is {{convert|64|km|mi|sp=us}} south of [[Ciudad Obregón]] connected primarily by a toll highway (Mex. 15) that extends north across the state of Sonora to the [[Arizona]] border.
