Green chili is considered one of the most important vegetables in Mexico due to the area harvested, the volume and value of the production contributed, and the foreign exchange generated by exports. Likewise, Mexico is an important producer and exporter since it ranks second worldwide in the production of green chili with 3 238 245 t in 2019. The research aimed to analyze the main competitiveness indices of the green chili trade in the 1994-2019 period, with the calculation of the indicators of apparent national consumption, trade balance, relative trade balance, export coefficient, tradability index, degree of openness index, and the trade dependence coefficient. The results reflect that the green chili produced in Mexico has a competitive advantage since the apparent national consumption was lower (2 173 018 t) than the production (3 238 245 t), the trade balance was positive, the relative trade balance was close to one, and the export and export specialization coefficients were positive; this indicates that the fresh chili industry in Mexico is competitive in the production and export of green chili, satisfies domestic demand, and contributes surpluses to the world market.
