Abstract

The municipality of Santiago Tulantepec de Lugo Guerrero, Hidalgo, is favored in the production of corn in its different varieties because the climatological conditions and the type of soil are conducive to producing this crop. The objective of this research was to analyze the relationship between the production and commercialization of corn, to know the economic benefits that result in greater utility for producers in the area. The analysis required knowing its production and commercialization and the costs from sowing to harvest, taking information in the production cycle 2017-2018. Data collection was based on a finite sample; through a simple random sampling, with an eighteen-item data collection instrument, applied to corn producers, taking as a universe the 407 producers enrolled in the ProAgro program, calculating, and resulting in the application to 198 as a sample for the study. A reliability test was applied using Crobach’s Alpha, which yielded 0.702, to give reliability and validity to the research. The information collected was processed in a database of the SPSS statistical program, obtaining the measures of central tendency. Finally, based on the results, recommendations and proposals are made based on the improvement of commercialization procedures for producers, which can lead to new research for the agricultural sector in the municipality.
