In order to know the accuracy of the web application in agricultural crops, an essay was made capturing a wheat production crop in Guanajuato (District 005 Cortazar), based on information already obtained. Once the analysis was done, it was concluded that the developed web application is efficient, accurate and reliable to evaluate agricultural crops through variables such as competitiveness, comparative advantage and protection coefficients.
