Abstract

 Because Mexico is immersed in a world economy that is constantly changing, it is vitally important to measure the effects of agricultural policy through the use, of the resources available to the public treasury. Within this context, part of the resources that the producer receives as subsidies are through PROCAMPO. The general objective was to determine whether production and consumption (among other variables) have a relationship of interdependence of PROCAMPO at the moment in which the producer decides to participate or not in the program; that is, are these variables conditioning the producer's decisions regarding PROCAMPO? and to what extent? In this sense, the methodology to be followed was through the use of the logit model, where the results obtained; through this qualitative dependent variable test, it showed that the probability that a producer from the municipality of Villaflores, Chiapas, joins PROCAMPO, increases 55%; however, the probability that a producer joins the same program increases 91% when he grows corn. It is concluded that the independent variables of production and consumption condition the decisions of the agricultural producer with respect to PROCAMPO, in the study area.
