Agroindustrial Blockchain in Mexico

Mexican NGO Canacintra, in collaboration with the China Association of Trade in Services, supports the Indigenous People’s Government of Mexico’s
efforts to harness Blockchain technology to spur economic development for Mexico’s 35 million+ indigenous people.

At an event at the United Nations hosted by the Observatory on Digital Communication, representatives of the Indigenous Peo-
ple’s Government of Mexico and Canacintra, a Mexico-based NGO focusing on industrial development, announced a partner-
ship to pursue agricultural and industrial development projects to benefit Mexico’s indigenous people, with Blockchain technology
as a crucial component.

In an interview conducted by the Syndicated News Network, Cesar Arturo Silerio, President of Canacintra’s Agroindustrial Sec-
tor, said: “Our goal is to study the financial activities and opportunities that can be applied in Mexico using Blockchain and other
financial technologies and solutions as well.” Mr. Silerio named the China Association of Trade in Services, a China-based NGO
working to develop China’s service sector domestically and internationally, as a collaborator in this pursuit, adding: “We began
an agricultural program in China last year and we are now celebrating our second harvest. We think it is important for Mexican
populations to engage and improve their financial dynamics by working with other countries.”

The Collaboration Agreement between Canacintra and the Indigenous People’s Government of Mexico had a third signatory in
Dr. Kalep González Blanco, Co-Founder and VP of Tech-
nology for Bankcoin.global, a cryptocurrency exchange
company. In his interview, Mr. Silerio named Dr. Blanco as
an important architect of the development projects: “[Dr.
Blanco] has engineered and negotiated these projects by
integrating them with the technologies and solutions he has
designed; particularly in Blockchain.”

ed Honorary Ambassador of the Indigenous People of
Mexico to the United Nations, represented Mexican in-
digenous governor, Hipólito Ariaga Pote, at the UN event,
