The production of guava (Psidium guajava) in Calvillo, Aguascalientes, has socioeconomic importance for the entity and requires the application of efficient public policies to maintain or encourage its growth. The objective was to determine the competitiveness, policy effects and economic efficiency of guava production systems in the municipality of Calvillo, Aguascalientes. The policy analysis matrix (MAP) was applied to the technical-productive information that was obtained from 28 surveys carried out on producers, these were classified as traditional, intermediate and business. The analysis of the results showed that the three production systems are profitable, but the private cost ratio (RCP) for intermediate producers had higher profitability (1.73) than business (1.64) and traditional (1.38). The cost ratio of internal resources (RCRI) was 0.55 for traditional producers, 0.45 for intermediate and 0.49 for business, this indicated that they are economically efficient and, consequently, have a comparative advantage. In the three groups of producers the existence of lack of protection of the economic policies was evidenced to the production systems to the detriment of their competitiveness. The production of guava in Calvillo, Aguascalientes generates wealth and contributes to saving foreign currency for the country, which makes it a productive alternative for the region.
