| Summary: | The objective of the research was to analyze the competitiveness of vegetables in Mexico. Vegetable production is more
profitable agricultural activities as agricultural land in Mexico are has 19,853,518.74 (average 2007/2010), of which
vegetables occupy an area of 2.7% nationally and provide 16% of the total value production (2007/2010). Mexican vegetables production has lost relative importance over time in the international market. Its participation in the agri-food
exports decreased from 32 to 25% (1993-2009). In addition, farmers have had problems of the profitability. Between
1980 and 2010, the index of prices for the production of brocoli, red tomato, and green tomato grew in 158, 147 and
322% respectively, while the farmer prices were reduced, the broccoli in 26%, the red tomato 16% and the green tomato
54% (1980-2010). According to the index of the competitive advantage revealed additive, the Mexican had always
been a positive index, nevertheless, the tendency is decreasing. In USA, it has been grown. Mexico is the main supplier
to USA, but Mexico must diversify the destiny of its exports. At national level, the Mexican growth in productivity is
intensive, but this can change, by the competitiveness problems.
O objectivo desta investigação foi analisar a competitividade dos legumes do México. A produção de legumes é das actividades agro-pecuárias mais lucrativas, já que a superfície agrícola no México corresponde a 19.853.518,74 ha (média de
2007/2010), dos quais os legumes ocupam uma superfície de 2,7% a nível nacional e contribuem para 16% do valor total
da produção (2007-2010). Os legumes perderam importância relativa no mercado internacional. A sua participação nas
exportações agro-alimentares diminuiu de 32% para 25% entre 1993 e 2009, e os produtores deparam-se com problemas
de rentabilidade. De 1980 a 2010, os índices de preços para a produção de brócolos, tomate e legumes frescos cresceram
158%, 147% e 322% respectivamente, enquanto os preços médios rurais se reduziram em 26%, 16% e 54%. O índice de
vantagem competitiva revelada aditiva no México é positivo, mas nos últimos anos a tendência inverteu-se; nos EUA
este índice cresceu. O México é o principal fornecedor dos EUA de legumes frescos, tendo o seu consumo aumentado. O
México deve diversificar o destino das exportações. A nível nacional, o crescimento na produtividade é intensivo, e prevê-
-se que possa ser interrompido devido aos problemas de competitividade.
