Bananas are a fruit grown in almost all tropical and subtropical regions of the world and they are considered part of the food security of developing countries; it is estimated that around 400 million people depend on bananas to ensure their food and for another part of the population, they are their source of income. The research analyzes the production and trade of bananas produced in Mexico from 1994 to 2021; information from the SIAP and FAOSTAT databases was used to calculate the growth rates of the production and trade variables and the indicators of trade competitiveness. The growth rate of production and exports is positive for the period studied; likewise, the value of the export coefficient, tradability indicator, and the degree of export openness show values greater than zero, whereas the commercial dependence coefficient has values close to zero, so it is concluded that banana production and exports in Mexico are expanding, increasingly consolidated in the domestic market and have competitive advantages in the international market.
