THE ACTION GROUPS AND THE APPLICATION OF HIGH PRODUCTIVITY TECHNOLOGY FOR TEMPORARY CORN IN LOCATIONS OF THE PLAN PUEBLA, MÉXICO. La Granja [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.2, pp.91-104.

The aim of this study is to show the importance of action groups and the application of technology, not only in corn production but also in the economic income of farmers. Action groups are the means to make consolidated purchases of inputs, manage financial resources and promote better marketing of the product. The methodology consisted of systematizing information from the follow-up of an action group made up of ten producers who applied improved technology to produce corn; this information was complemented with a socioeconomic survey of 30 farmers from three municipalities. The results indicate that the integration of action groups allows to increase the yields by almost 50% more with respect to the control group and a b / c ratio is obtained, on average, of 2.44 on average. In conclusion, a sufficient volume of maize production is produced to satisfy the families' self-consumption needs and surpluses for sale. These production levels favor the reproduction of rural families. This article provides information for decision-making in the implementation of corn production programs in other locations.
