28 AUG 2026 · Rosarito's $304 Million Desalination Plant Moves Forward
- Rosarito's $304 million desalination plant has finally moved forward with Cox receiving the construction contract.
- The first phase of the plant is designed to deliver approximately 190 million liters of water daily, serving about 1 million people in Rosarito and Southwest Tijuana.
- Construction is expected to take three years, and this project is much more than just a water project; it is essential for Tijuana's continued population growth and its advanced manufacturing base.
- The plant will add a supply independent of the Colorado River, removing a significant constraint from future industrial and biomanufacturing investment.
- Risks to watch include execution, electricity requirements, brine disposal, and whether distribution infrastructure keeps pace with the plant.
Mexican Strawberries Face Preliminary U.S. Anti-Dumping Margins
- The U.S. Commerce Department preliminarily determined that Mexican winter strawberries were being sold below fair value.
- The calculated margins are 5.28% for Driscoll's Mexican operation, 3.37% for mainland farms, and 4.83% for other exporters.
- The affected winter import market was worth 933 million dollars in the most recent investigated season.
- A final commerce determination is expected around January 8, 2027.
- Baja California, particularly San Quentin and Ensenada, is one of Mexico's leading strawberry-producing regions, and even a modest duty can affect grower margins, customs costs, distributor pricing, and investment decisions in cold storage and agricultural logistics.
U.S.-Mexico Trade Talks and USMCA Uncertainty
- Mexico said on August 21st that discussions with Washington are progressing on steel, aluminum, and replacing Asian inputs with more North American production.
- The United States declined in July to extend USMCA for another 16-year term, and the agreement remains operative through 2036, but annual reviews continue until the countries agree on an extension.
- The fourth U.S.-Mexico negotiating round is expected in Washington in September, with regional manufacturing, supply chain security, labor, agriculture, and automotive rules among the central issues.
- Calibaha could benefit if tighter rules favor genuinely North American production over Asian inputs, but unresolved rules of origin and sectoral tariffs may delay cross-border factory expansions and venture investment until companies can model the new economics confidently.
- Thanks for listening to the Calibaha Business 180, a three-minute business briefing snackcast on the Calibaha region from Cloudcast San Diego, and remember, money knows no borders.

23 JUL 2026 · Brief One – A $1.3 Billion Vote of Confidence The biggest business story this week is confidence—investor confidence. Baja California has announced an active pipeline of 16 strategic private investment projects totaling nearly $1.3 billion, expected to create more than 15,000 direct jobs. The investments span advanced manufacturing, aerospace, electronics, medical technology, electromobility, and industrial services throughout Tijuana, Mexicali, and Tecate. For San Diego, this isn't just Baja's success—it's our opportunity. Every new manufacturing facility requires engineering, legal services, accounting, logistics, software, finance, and supply chain expertise. Increasingly, companies are choosing to design products in San Diego and build them in Baja, reinforcing the strength of one integrated regional economy.
Brief Two – CaliBaja's Semiconductor Opportunity Our second story looks ahead. While much of the country's attention has focused on semiconductor investments in Arizona and Texas, industry leaders believe the CaliBaja region is quietly assembling many of the ingredients needed to become North America's next semiconductor hub. San Diego already possesses world-class chip design talent, research institutions, and innovative technology companies. Baja California complements that strength with sophisticated manufacturing capabilities, an experienced workforce, and proximity to U.S. markets. Combined with the USMCA trade agreement and the future Otay Mesa East Port of Entry, the region is positioning itself to compete for the next generation of semiconductor assembly, testing, packaging, and advanced manufacturing investments.
Brief Three – Success Brings New Challenges Our final brief is about infrastructure. Investment is arriving faster than infrastructure can always accommodate it. Industrial space, freight capacity, border crossings, transportation networks, water resources, and electric power will all require continued investment if the region hopes to sustain its remarkable momentum. The challenge is actually a positive one. Communities don't struggle with infrastructure because they're declining—they struggle because they're growing. Every improvement in border efficiency, every new industrial park, and every investment in transportation strengthens CaliBaja's competitive position against manufacturing regions around the world. The opportunity ahead isn't simply attracting more investment. It's building the infrastructure necessary to support decades of economic growth.
