Foreign capital fuels dynamic growth in Mexico, and an expanding rail network promotes export agriculture, manufacturing, and mining.

Agriculture and livestock export products expand to include cattle and cattle hides, coffee, cotton, henequen, sugar, vanilla, and chicle.

Railroads allow the exploitation of new land in the north for cotton cultivation and enable Mexico to double its cotton production between 1887 and 1910.
