Roberto Bazua Campaña Presents His First Activity Report as Head of AARC
Culiacan, Sinaloa. On Friday, February 20, 2026, the Chairman of Asociacion de Agricultores del Rio Culiacan (AARC) Roberto Bazua Campaña, presented his First Activity Report of the 2025–2028 Steering Committee.
Prior to the event, an ordinary meeting was held to inform members about the work done. Bazua Campaña acknowledged that these have been difficult, hard, and profoundly challenging years for the farming sector in Sinaloa; but emphasized that unity has made it possible to move forward.
He recognized that it has been a year of major challenges for the farming industry from both Sinaloa and Mexico.
“My commitment is to continue leading an administration that is firm and beneficial to all of you. An administration that is not just empty words, but translates into actions, results, and actual defense of our sector. This responsibility is not taken lightly; we assume it with integrity, dedication, and the conviction that farmers need to be represented, supported, and they also need an association that rises to the occasion in difficult times,” he stated.

Asociacion de Agricultores del Rio Culiacan was founded in 1932 by a group of visionary farmers with the purpose of defending and promoting the interests of the farming sector. It currently has over 1,400 members, whose productive activity generates significant development within the state, as the economic revenue of its members allows creating a significant number of jobs and driving the local economy.
To date, it is incorporated as a non-profit civil association, with its highest authority being the General Meeting of Partners. Together with ten other sister farming associations operating in Sinaloa, they make up CAADES Sinaloa A.C., building an exemplary organization structure for growers at a domestic level.
