Every May 20, we celebrate Merchant Day, a moment to honor those who, day by day, build businesses Kilo of Tortilla with their own hands, foster community ties, and support not just families — but entire neighborhoods.
At Nextamalli, we want to give special recognition to one type of merchant: the modern tortilla maker. Because behind every kilo of tortilla, there’s more than just corn and dough… there’s vision, commitment, and a dream growing with every sale.
🌽 Entrepreneurship Through Corn: A Calling Beyond Business
Starting a tortilla business isn’t easy. It requires investment, permits, long hours, training, and resilience. But those who do it know they’re not just selling food — they’re offering tradition, comfort, and culture.
That’s why every kilo of tortilla represents:
- A choice to become self-employed
- A daily opportunity to generate income
- A way to keep Mexican food heritage alive
- A business rooted in perseverance
⚙️ Technology That Supports Entrepreneurs
With the support of Nextamalli’s ALITECH reactors, today’s entrepreneurs can:

💡 The Symbolic Value of the Tortilla Merchant
Many customers buy tortillas daily without realizing they’re supporting a family-run business. That’s why this Merchant Day is a chance to highlight the human story behind the product:
🛠️ Someone who woke up early to prepare the mill
🔥 A family that learned to use the reactor to speed up production
👨👩👧👦 A team working together to serve with heart and consistency
Each sale, each returning customer, each kilo of tortilla — is part of someone’s journey to build a dream with corn.
✅ In Summary
May 20 is more than a date — it’s a reminder that local commerce keeps Mexico going, and behind something as common as a tortilla, there’s a merchant with passion and a desire to grow.
At Nextamalli, we are proud to support thousands of entrepreneurs who turn this ancient grain into a modern business. Because every kilo of tortilla can feed a family… or fuel a dream.
