Based on political and economic conditions, Ambassador James Jones gives his opinion on why Mexico is a better country for investment than China.

A closer look at the benefits, challenges and outlook for doing business in Mexico.

Felipe Calderon has barely been Mexico’s president for six months, but local and foreign investors are impressed and are bullish about the country’s outlook.

“The country’s new, business friendly and reform-minded government has made Mexico even more desirable for business activity,” says Thurston R. Hamer, the senior client partner at the Mexico office of US-based Korn/Ferry, the world’s largest executive recruitment firm. “The administration of President Felipe Calderon is committed to push badly needed reforms to fiscal policies, labor regulations and the legal structure, among others, and has made job creation one of the major objectives of its current six-year term, which has just begun. Calderon’s reputation as a shrewd politician and negotiator, and his early success in dealing with opposition legislators has encouraged businessmen at home and abroad regarding positive projections for the future.”

John Bruton, the Mexico-based senior managing director of Manatt Jones Global Strategies, agrees. “Mexico’s new administration is a promising one [and] seems to be emphasizing increasingly good relations between the legislative branch and the executive,” he says, alluding to Calderon’s ability to forge alliances with the opposition PRI party to pass key legislation for social security reform and future fiscal reform. “Mexico’s international prestige as a destination for investment is growing.”

U.S.-based Continental Airlines, which flies non-stop to 30 destinations in Mexico from the United States, is also bullish. “The new policies established by President Felipe Calderon are leading Mexico towards growth,” says Carlos Enrique Hernandez, the airline’s general director in Mexico.

The confidence in Calderon is resulting in record growth in foreign direct.

ECO PROYECTOS

El gran despegue turístico que ha experimentado el estado de Quintana Roo en las últimas décadas, lo ha llevado a tener un crecimiento vertiginoso y acelerado sin una planificación adecuada, por lo que ha sido difícil mantener un equilibrio entre el desarrollo turístico y el bienestar social, ambiental y cultural.

Ante esta realidad, Flora, Fauna y Cultura de México, A.C. (FFCM), organización civil sin fines de lucro, nace con el firme propósito de desarrollar y brindar un mayor impulso a proyectos que vinculen a los diferentes sectores sociales con programas de conservación, protección y rescate de nuestro patrimonio natural y cultural.
todo es posible Para lograr esta misión, FFCM trabaja a través de diferentes programas, entre los que destaca:Protección y Conservación de Tortugas Marinas: cuidemos a las Tortugas Marinas

Las tortugas marinas son animales en peligro de extinción. Se estima que de cada 1000 crías, sólo una llegará a ser adulta. Quintana Roo es el estado del país que recibe en sus playas la anidación del mayor número de tortugas blancas (Chelonia mydas) y caguamas (Caretta caretta).

Nuestro programa cubre la zona con mayor porcentaje de anidación del estado, y es considerado uno de los más importantes a nivel nacional tanto por la continuidad de sus actividades durante más de 20 años como por los resultados que se han obtenido. El programa abarca 120 km. de litoral, distribuidos en 12 playas de anidación que se protegen a través de cinco campamentos en las siguientes playas: Aventuras DIF, Xcacel, Xel-ha, Kanzul y Cahpechen.

De 1996 al 2004 hemos protegido más de 24 mil nidos de tortuga marina, tanto caguama como blanca, y liberado más de un millón 600 mil crías.

Este año la meta es llegar a los dos millones de crías liberadas.

Programa de Protección y Conservación de Tortugas Marinas:participa en los programas de las Tortugas Marinas.

Las tortugas blancas y caguamas salen por las noches a depositar sus huevos, durante este tiempo nosotros las protegemos.

Para esto realizamos recorridos nocturnos, en las playas de Aventuras-DIF, Chemuyil, Xcacel, Xel-há, Kanzúl y Caapechén, registramos las características de las hembras y las marcamos con una pequeña placa de acero similar a un arete; y en caso de ser necesario trasladamos los huevos de la tortuga a un corral de incubación para protegerlas de depredadores y los cambios de mareas.

En las playas de Punta Venado, Paamul, Punta Cadena, Tankah, Yu-yum y San Juan no trabajamos por las noches, estas son playas con una menor anidación y podemos llevar un seguimiento a través de recorridos quincenales durante el día.

Vinculación con la comunidad

Para desarrollar con éxito este programa, necesitamos establecer lazos muy estrechos con distintos sectores de la comunidad, que van desde el sector hotelero, los turistas que visitan el Caribe Mexicano y los habitantes de la región.

Para esto llevamos a cabo pláticas de sensibilización, limpiezas de playas, visitas de escolares a las playas de anidación y el Festival de la Tortuga Marina, realizado en Tulúm cada fin de temporada con la idea de celebrar con una liberación masiva de crías de tortuga este maravilloso acontecimiento.

Programa de voluntariado

Más de 100 voluntarios participan en nuestras actividades. Únete a esta labor y sé parte de la experiencia de la conservación de nuestros recursos naturales.

STEVE WILLIAMS - GOLF CADDY STEVE WILLIAMS

Today Saturday August 9 2008 I had the pleasure to meet Steve Williams and his lovely wife Kirsty in Cancun Mexico, where in the middle of such a big crowd of people at the Cancun Airport they were unnoticed, they mentioned to me that they were going to stay in a secluded Resort in the Riviera Maya to spend a relaxing time together.

In my opinion I consider Steve to be the best Caddy in the World.
He has spent nine years beside the world’s greatest golfer Tiger Woods, he certainly is an influence on Tiger’s Golf Game.

ABOUT STEVE WILLIAMS

KIWI CADDY

Caddying From the age of ten I spent all my weekends caddying at my home club of Paraparaumu Beach. My days would often include 36 holes of caddying and practising until dark myself. Despite getting to as low as a two handicap by the age of thirteen I found myself enjoying caddying more than playing.

In 1976 my Father arranged for me to caddy for Australian great Peter Thomson in the New Zealand Open, which was held at Wellington Golf Club. Peter finished third and was amazed at my skill level as a Caddy despite being only thirteen years old. From that week on I knew I wanted to be a professional golf caddy. I continued to caddy for Peter when he played in New Zealand and I would travel to Australia in the school holidays to caddy in some tournaments. During my trips to Australia I would quiz as many caddies as I could to learn what the World of Professional Caddying involved.

With my savings from Caddying at Paraparaumu I headed to the European tour in 1979 and began my career as a caddy. From 1979 to 1988 I caddied on the European tour, Asian tour, Japanese tour and Australasian tour. During this time I caddied for Australian pros Mike Clayton, Terry Gale and Ian Baker-Finch. It was during this time I met Greg Norman and from 1982 I caddied for Greg in all his Australian and Asian events as well as some European events. In 1988 I moved to the United States and would work full time for Greg. Sadly this arrangement despite great success would only last midway through 1989.

Fortunately I joined Ray Floyd immediately after and would enjoy ten great years with Raymond. During the 1999 Doral Open I received a phone call from Tiger enquiring whether I would be interested in caddying for him. Whilst it was an easy decision to join Tiger it was a difficult one to leave Raymond who was like a Father to me.

As they say the rest is history.

Steve Williams Foundation

The Foundation aims to help juniors throughout New Zealand particularly those in remote areas and the smaller provinces that struggle for sponsorship

Whilst walking the fairways of the world’s best golf courses it always gives me a great feeling to look up on the leaderboards and see fellow Kiwis names up there. I would love to see more New Zealand professionals playing the tour, hopefully we can encourage more juniors to play golf and go onto be professionals.

Having been a junior golfer in New Zealand I am excited to give back to the game that has been so good to me.

The Steve Williams Foundation also supports Speedway, my other passion away from golf.

Hacienda La Esmeralda
Hacienda La Esmeralda gourmet “geisha” coffee.
Located on the slopes of Mount Barú in Western Panama, Hacienda La Esmeralda produces premium Central American export coffee. Award winning Coffee Esmeralda.
Esmeralda Special

Esmeralda Special, is a rare award-winning coffee that has set three online coffee auction records, once when it sold for $21 dollars a pound on June 29th, 2004, again on May 30, 2006 when it sold for $50.25 a pound and now for $130 a pound. Other achievements are

1st Place Specialty Coffee Association of America Roasters Guild Cupping Pavilion (2007, 2006, 2005)
2nd Place Coffee of The Year (2008)
1st Place “Best of Panama” (2007, 2006, 2005, 2004)
1st Place Rainforest Alliance Cupping for Quality (2008, 2007, 2006, 2004)

Coffee quality is a product of altitude and processing. One of the truisms of coffee growers is that the bean is at its finest the moment the ripe cherry is picked from the tree. The only thing the grower can do from then on is to diminish the quality - he can in no way improve on it.
This means that as growers our responsibility is to pick only the ripest most perfect fruits and process them as perfectly as possible to bring out the full taste that nature put into them.
At Esmeralda they start by carefully instructing those who hand pick the fruit, to only pick the completely ripe, red fruits. They are paid a premium for this. Every night, as the coffee is received in the ‘beneficio’ (their processing plant), each harvester’s production for the day is weighed and inspected for defects or green beans.

At Esmeralda they strive for absolute consistency and excellence in preparation, to produce a coffee of medium plus acidity, a sweet and clean cup with a touch of citrus flavor. They devote enormous time to the details and fine touches that have always distinguished Esmeralda Estate coffee from ‘just another coffee’.

GEISHA COFFEE

Some call it geisha, others gesha…for forty years , before this varietal became famous, it has been called geisha in Boquete, Panama.
Hacienda La Esmeralda and Esmeralda Jaramillo are located in the Province of Chiriquí, in the south-west region of Panama.

Panama’s Hacienda La Esmeralda gourmet “geisha” coffee, which has broken world price records in online coffee auctions, is now so sought after that the farm is planning its own Internet auction this year.

In a bold step never before attempted by a single estate, the farm in the cool highlands above Panama’s western town of Boquete will put its entire crop up for bidding in a private auction, farm administrator Daniel Peterson said.

“We are going to auction all of the geisha together. This is the fairest form of exchange,” The farm’s coffee is popular with high-end roasters and connoisseurs drawn to its sweet jasmine flavors that win the rare beans high scores at cupping events.

The coffee had cultivated a reputation similar to fine wines grown in specific regions, and is now one of the world’s most expensive varieties.

Last year Hacienda’s small lot sold at an unprecedented $130 per pound at the “Best of Panama” online auction, where bids were taken at a maximum price of $99.99 per pound.

Peterson said the geisha coffee would likely be sold in roughly 120-kg lots, with the green coffee shipped in vacuum packs. Bidding could start at $5 per pound.

Buyers are both excited and wary of the experiment.

High-profile buyers say they prefer to negotiate directly instead of competing at an auction.

FARM EXPANSION

“It would be hard for us to buy all of our coffees at auction,” said David Pohl from northern California specialty roaster Equator Coffee, which purchased 60 kg of the Hacienda’s geisha coffee last year at just under $13 per pound.

Pohl said he strongly backed an idea by the farm’s owners to auction the lots according to the exact date the beans were picked, given the coffee’s fame.

The move by the farm shows how far online auctions have come since they were started in the late 1990s as a way to separate high-quality coffees from the conventional market.

It took time for the model to catch on but it has worked well for small producers like Panama, where the scarcity of the fine, high-altitude geisha beans helps boost prices.

The country produces under 180,000 60-kg bags of green washed arabica per year, less than 10 percent the volume grown by neighboring Costa Rica.

The geisha coffees come from a variety introduced to Panama in the 1960s but virtually abandoned early on due to low yields.

Growing demand from new specialty roasters is convincing farmers like Peterson to expand. The 14-hectare Hacienda farm will nearly double its planted area next year.

That would help ease buyers’ concerns that supplies are so low the coffee can only be used for special promotions instead of being offered to customers year-round.
