Abstract:
In order to estimate the relationship of the trend towards the competitiveness of Family Units
(UF), the present work was carried out in the community of Thadziú in the state of Yucatán,
which according to data from the Government of Mexico, is characterized by its index of
marginalization. Sixty families were selected and polled using a questionnaire as a tool. The
survey was applied in two stages that were before and after the incorporation of technological
innovations in corn and beekeeping. The questionnaire contained questions related to land use,
animal inventory and availability of labor. Likewise, we obtained data on sales, selfconsumption, salaried and family labor and operating costs of each UF. An income analysis was
carried out and financial, economic and competitiveness (RC) indicators were obtained. This last
indicator served to stratify UFs. The strata were negative RC (E1 <1) between 0 and 1 (E2) and>
1 (E3). Before the incorporation of technological components, 90% of the UF were not
competitive after two years of evaluation, 50% of the units improved their income and increased
their net added value and competitiveness |
