The growth rate is the result of a relationship that reflects the movements of a particular value ina period of time, which can be positive or negative, reflecting expansion or reduction of the variable. Competitivenessindices are results of relationships between different variables of production and trade, which can be positive or negative,reflecting competitive advantage or disadvantage. Growth rates and indexes allow the characterization of the behavior ofthe variables of production and trade and the competitiveness of the mango in Mexico. The major mango producingcountries are China, India, Thailand, Mexico and Indonesia. This research was carried out a characterization of the growthrates of the main economic variables of production and trade and handle competitiveness indices. The major mangoproducing countries are China, India, Thailand, Mexico and Indonesia. This research was carried out a characterization ofthe growth rates of the main economic variables of production and trade of mango and competitiveness indices. Thevariables studied are harvested area, yield, production, exports and imports and the competitiveness indexes are relativetrade balance, transabilidad index and export coefficient. The information was obtained from the Servicio de InformaciónAgroalimentaria y Pesquera (SIAP) and the Sistema de Información Agroalimentaria de Consulta (SIACON). The resultsreflect that the rates of growth of production and export variables are positive and the competitiveness indices are positive.Positive growth rates of the variables of production and trade and the positive competitiveness indexes from the Mexicanmango reflect that it is a profitable, competitive and expanding product.
