Focalization of resources by the government to support maize
production in the zones with high productive potential
requires identifying the most competitive zones. In order
to determine the most competitive maize (Zea mays L.)
producing zones in the state of Puebla, a solution for a spatial
and inter-temporal equilibrium model was obtained that
takes into account the demand, the offer, the distribution of
production and imports, and the supply for consumption in
each consumer zone. The model used data from the 2008-
2010 period and four solutions were obtained corresponding
to the base year and to gradual reductions in maize availability
for consumption, as a result of the decrease in state imports.
Results indicate that faced with a reduction of state imports of
25 %, maize production in Cholula and Tecamachalco would
increase in 56 and 34 thousand tons, respectively, defining
these regions as the most competitive. In general, the most
competitive production zones are those that show the highest
yields and are located closer to the consumption centers.
Based on the results, it is recommended that the government
support maize production in the state, particularly in the
most competitive zones.
