We are ARBA: Water, Resources, Well-being, and Food (Agua, Recursos, Bienestar y Alimentos) a transformative initiative born to build a new agroindustrial development model for Baja California Sur, based on sustainability, self-sufficiency, and social inclusion.
ARBA is a collective of ejidatarios, local residents, producers, and marketers united with entrepreneurs, engineers, environmentalists, academics, and community leaders. In alliance with the Autonomous University of Baja California Sur (UABCS) and the Higher Technological Institute of Ciudad Constitución, and working synergistically with the municipal government of Comondú and the state government, we seek to continue and contribute to the region’s development. We share a common vision: to turn the desert into a productive, dignified, and export-oriented region, where water ceases to be an obstacle and becomes the engine of well-being.
At ARBA, we understand that solving the water problem in Baja California Sur cannot be achieved in isolation. Therefore, we are committed to working closely with the municipal government—combining efforts, infrastructure, and capacities to ensure the supply of potable water to the municipal seat and its delegations.
Our model includes allocating part of the volume produced by the desalination plant for domestic consumption in nearby communities, alleviating pressure on local aquifers and replacing depleted or contaminated sources.
This joint effort will enable us to:
Reduce water stress in the currently overloaded municipal potable water systems with limited supply sources.
Provide consistent, high-quality potable water without interruptions, even during droughts or when traditional wells fail.
Improve coverage in rural delegations where water currently arrives intermittently, by truck, or not at all.
Strengthen urban and regional infrastructure by connecting new distribution systems to modern and secure sources.
Generate a new reliable and sustainable source of potable water, providing certainty for urban planning, population growth, and public health.
This partnership with the municipal government is not just an act of shared responsibility, it is a concrete strategy to guarantee the human right to water in the region, laying the foundation for fair, dignified, and sustainable development.
We are not just a project, we are a platform of solutions. We design and operate an ecosystem that integrates water infrastructure, agricultural and livestock production, value-added processing, clean energy, and international logistics. All of it conceived so that development does not depend on others, nor compromise anyone’s future.
At ARBA, we believe seawater is life, that resources must serve the common good, that well-being is built through employment and access, and that responsibly produced food can nourish both our people and the world.
We aim to develop a comprehensive agroindustrial ecosystem in Baja California Sur, based on sustainable access to water, responsible food production, and the efficient use of natural, technological, and human resources.
We seek to promote community well-being through the creation of infrastructure, jobs, added value, and access to national and international markets, guided by principles of sustainability, inclusion, and regional development.
We aspire to make ARBA a national and international benchmark for how to transform arid regions into productive, sustainable, and export-oriented hubs, through smart water management, technological innovation, social commitment, and environmental respect.
We envision a self-sufficient Baja California Sur, with food sovereignty, dignified employment, and agroindustrial value chains connected to the world, where development is not a privilege, but a right.
At ARBA, we do not seek temporary fixes or band-aids for underdevelopment, we aim to build a sustainable development model that works today, and still works 20, 30, or 50 years from now. A model that can be replicated in other regions of the country or the world, where water is scarce, production is limited, and opportunities remain unmet. Our commitment is to a model that balances economic, social, and environmental dimensions, from design to operation.
We produce without depletion, using treated seawater, solar energy, efficient agriculture, and responsible livestock practices.
We close production cycles by reusing waste, transforming byproducts into new goods, and minimizing disposal.
We generate well-being, not just wealth, creating dignified jobs, access to basic services, and opportunities for those who need them most.
We design with long-term vision, integrating technology, modular infrastructure, climate resilience, and participatory governance.
What we seek is not just to change a region, but to prove that it is possible to produce, grow, and export without destruction. That it is possible to turn the desert into hope—and that the sustainable future begins today, with determination and with water.
