Therefore, the review is done from the perspective of knowing the state of Mexican and Guanajuato companies that have foreign trade as an activity, which sector they belong to, which of them manage foreign trade programs such as IMMEX, and that it is important to highlight their impact as well. On the other hand, important data such as the results of the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) are considered, such as the fact that 17% of the economic units in Mexico with international trade transactions are macro companies and concentrate 82% of the value of foreign trade of manufacturing companies, just as foreign trade represents approximately 65% of the GDP and exports about 30% in recent years. Therefore, it is concluded that the pandemic achieved great changes by which, Mexicans instead of taking it as an economic stoppage, quickly took it as an opportunity to create micro-enterprises achieving in this way opportunities, as well; it changed the way countries relate to each other and how governments face the problem on a daily basis, but it can be stated that neither international trade nor foreign trade stops, because they are part of an activity that determines the survival of world economies and without which life today could not be conceived. In this way, it is expected that in the following years; products will be exported to different countries, generating an increase in wealth within Mexico, as has been shown in the last semester of 2020 with the increase of Mexican exports.
