It has the highest per capita income in the country, as well as a high life expectancy. It is perfect for investments, thanks to its agility, closeness, and flexibility, as well as its size and good inter-institutional coordination.

A cutting-edge and sustainable agricultural sector

The primary sector is modern, diversified and specialized according to its different zones (High, Medium and Low Rioja) for the most efficient types of products in each terrain depending on whether it is rainfed (cereals, vineyards, and almond trees) or irrigated (cereals, orchards, potatoes, beets, and fruit trees).
