The logistics crisis, the rising cost of shipping costs to import from Asia, delays in delivery times, are points that make clear the need to shorten the distance with the supplier.

The state's maquiladora and export manufacturing industry recognizes that one of its challenges is to be closer to its suppliers, a challenge that was exacerbated by the global logistics crisis and further evidenced dependence on imports of supplies, said the general director of the National Council of the Maquiladora and Export Manufacturing Industry (Index) in Querétaro, Marcela Anaya.

Therefore, one of the council's objectives is to motivate its associates to develop local supply and reduce dependency on the outside.

“They depended so much on the outside that by not having it, the supply chains were stopped, so being able to develop local supply, not depending on where Index's vision goes, motivates companies to continue working with their suppliers, but that we do help develop local suppliers ”, he stated.

Among the lines of work of Index in Querétaro is to create strategies that promote the detection of opportunities in local suppliers.

The president of Index in Querétaro, Enrique Quezada Ojeda, explained that before the crisis of the containers the cost of one from China was around 3,000 dollars and currently is almost 13,000 dollars, which has represented an increase in transportation .

These increases have an impact in different ways, depending on the type of industry, since the impact on electronics has been greater than for others.

Quezada Ojeda said that some companies adjust their costs, in order to mitigate the increases that occurred this year.

The trade-offs faced by the export industry would continue for the following year, although the situation is not expected to worsen, but complications persist, although it considers that within two years the transport processes will be regularized.
