Abstract

United States of America (USA) is the main importer of tomatoes in the world, and it imports large quantities of Mexican tomato. The results show that a 20% annual increase in the imported quantity of Mexican tomato to the US market would be economically viable. In this simulated scenario, the Benefit/Cost Ratio (B/C R) for producers in Sinaloa, Jalisco, Sonora and Baja California would be 2.3434, 1.2886, 2.8524 and 3.5025 respectively. In other words, in the face of a 20% increase in the exported quantity, producing tomatoes destined for the US market in these states continues to be profitable. Keywords: tomato, production, profitability, export
