Economy
One quarter of the municipality (1,160 km) is occupied by irrigated agricultural lands, growing wheat, corn, soybeans, and garden vegetables.
There is also large production of swine and poultry. Navojoa produces almost half of the state production in these areas. The cattle herd had over 30,000 head according to the 2000 census. [1]
Industry is modest, although there are one beer factory, owned by Cerveceria Cuauhtemoc Moctezuma / Heineken, and a cardboard packing factory named Celulosa y Corrugados de Sonora, S.A. de C.V.
