Food industry represents an important part in the Mexican economy, including
more than 400,000 companies and a Gross Domestic Product of around 16
billion of Mexican pesos in 2019. For that reason, this paper has the objective to analyze
its productivity using data from the 2014 and 2019 Economic Censuses related
to 2013 and 2018 economic indicators. The paper presents results of a productivity
analysis of 1,672 municipalities from 32 Mexicans states grouped in eight regions
using Data Envelopment Analysis. The results indicate significant differences between
