This research shows the analysis of the effects of the simulation of the increase of $1 per liter to the price of sodas. The simulation was performed in a characteristic rural community of Mexico. The general computable rural equilibrium model was used under two scenarios: In perfect competition and in absence of markets. The main effect under the two scenarios was a drop of 14.29% in consumption; without consequences on the agricultural, livestock and factor markets. This drink behaved as an inelastic good in the magnitude of -0.85. The soda tax discouraged consumption; however, an effective reduction would require combined strategies.
