Resumen
Objective: To determine the degree of trade dependence of the Mexican market on, imported barley from 1994 to 2021.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The growth rates of the barley production variables in the domestic market were estimated, the relative trade balance was calculated, and the trade dependence was determined.
Results: The production variables had growth rates in the analysis period, the relative trade balance was -1, and the trade dependence was close to 0.
Study Limitations/Implications: There is no correlation between the barley market and the brewing industry in Mexico.
Findings/Conclusions: Mexico is a net importer of barley despite the positive growth rates of the production variables. Nevertheless, this grain does not have a trade dependence on the foreign market.
