Tabasco, Mexico—The Spicy State

The state of Tabasco, located in Southeast Mexico on the Gulf of Mexico, and bordering Chiapas and Guatemala, has traditionally been an agricultural region, but in the last 30 years has become one of Mexico’s leading petroleum producers. Despite its oil resources, the state remains one of Mexico’s poorest in Mexico with a GDP per capita of US$3,900. Income distribution is very uneven and there are pockets of poverty and a high percentage of indigenous people living in marginalized rural communities. Van Mujeres is supporting poor women in all 17 counties of the state.
