Anál. econ. [online]. 2018, vol.33, n.83, pp.125-143.  Epub 09-Sep-2019. ISSN 2448-6655.  https://doi.org/10.24275/uam/azc/dcsh/ae/2018v33n83/ayvar.

This paper aims to study the efficiency of the Mexican agricultural sector in the context of APEC, taking into account the "bad outouts" that occurred during the period 1980-2015. The establishment of mechanisms that improve the efficient use of resources to generate greater added value and at the same time reduce CO2eq emissions in the sector, are essential so that Mexico can aspire to higher levels of development. In order to measure efficiency, Data Envelopment Analysis, was used, and in order to assess the evolution of productivity the Malmquist-Luenberger index was calculated. The results show that during the entire length of the period studied the Mexican agricultural sector was more efficient than order APEC contries. However, its productivity worsened due to the need for technological improvements that allow a displacement of the production possibilities frontier.
