Mexico and the food self-sufficiency (six-year period 2006 -2012)

Today, Mexico challenges a globalization trend where richer countries export basic products to developing countries, generating a food crisis that negatively affect the medium-small producers. For this reason, it is important to study the behavior of the food market (exports and imports), since the...

For this reason, it is important to study the behavior of the food market (exports and imports), since the current Mexican development model does not achieve that food security be a national policy guaranteeing the provision of food for the entire population. Specifically, this article analyses the performance of the food situation during the six–year period 2006-2012, studying three basic foods for Mexican population (maize, bean, wheat) and others strategic food like sugar, sorghum and soy. In addition, it analyzes the performance of harvesting and sowing surface, exports and imports. Results indicated that the three main foods showed had high import growth rates decreasing national harvest and sowing surface, with a trade balance deficit during the six-year period studied. The conclusion is that the local producers need a change in the production dynamics and play a strategic role in the food production with new sustainable alternatives. México se enfrenta en la actualidad a tendencias globales en que los países ricos exportan productos básicos hacia los países en desarrollo, las cuales han afectado a los medianos y pequeños productores generando una crisis productiva agrícola. Por ese motivo, es importante estudiar el comportamiento del mercado de alimentos (exportaciones e importaciones), pues el modelo de desarrollo mexicano vigente no consigue que la seguridad alimentaria sea una política nacional que garantice la provisión de alimentos para toda la población. Específicamente, este artículo analiza la situación alimentaria durante el sexenio 2006-2012, tomando tres alimentos básicos para los mexicanos: maíz, fríjol, trigo; y otros, estratégicos como el azúcar, sorgo y soya. Estudia su comportamiento desde el punto de vista de superficie sembrada y cosechada, así como exportaciones e importaciones; los resultados indican que los tres alimentos presentan altas tasas de crecimiento en importaciones con afectación a la superficie sembrada y cosechada nacional provocando que la balanza agropecuaria sea deficitaria. La conclusión es que será necesario un cambio en la dinámica productiva donde los productores locales tomen un papel estratégico en la producción de alimentos, con nuevas alternativas productivas sostenibles. 2019-08-09T19:30:08Z 2019-08-09T19:30:08Z 2015 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistacta.agrosavia.co/index.php/revista/article/view/395 10.21930/rcta.vol15_num1_art:395 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12324/35185 reponame:Biblioteca Digital Agropecuaria de Colombia repourl:https://repository.agrosavia.co instname:Corporación colombiana de investigación agropecuaria AGROSAVIA spa http://revistacta.agrosavia.co/index.php/revista/article/view/395/312 application/pdf Corporación Colombiana de Investigación Agropecuaria (Agrosavia) Ciencia y Tecnología Agropecuaria; Vol 15 No 1 (2014); 33-49 Ciencia y Tecnología Agropecuaria; Vol. 15 Núm. 1 (2014); 33-49 revista Corpoica Ciência e Tecnologia Agropecuária; v. 15 n. 1 (2014); 33-49 2500-5308 0122-8706 10.21930/rcta.vol15-num1
