description Mexican sawn wood is facing a lack of competitiveness with respect to imported wood. Over the period 1993-1995 average national production was able to supply 80% of the national consumption whereas by the period 2001-2003 only was capable of supplying 24%. In order to determine the factors that could revert this tendency, a non linear programming model was used. Results indicate that if there were subsidies a 30% reduction in production costs would decrease imported wood in about 1 ,1%, which means 50,139 m3 of sawn wood, and it would increase the national production in 2,1%. A 20 % reduction in transportation cost would lead to a rise in the national sawn wood production of 3,8%, this is 90 500 m3 in terms of sawn wood; consequently, imported sawn wood would decrease in 2 ,2%, which means 102 034 m3 of sawn wood. If a 6% tariff above the international price were to be implemented, the national production would increase in about 5,6%, this means 132 355 m3 of sawn wood. This tariff will help to decrease imported wood in about 9,5%, this is 306 923 m3 of sawn wood with respect to those of the 2001-2003 period.

Para el periodo 1993-1995, la producción nacional abastecía el 80 % del consumo nacional y para el 2001-2003 sólo el 3%. Con el objetivo de determinar los factores que podrían revertir esta tendencia, se usó un modelo de programación no lineal. Los resultados indican que una disminución de 30% en los costos de producción vía subsidios, reduciría las importaciones en 1,1%, estos es, 50,139 m3 aserrados, respecto al nivel observado en el periodo 2001-2003, y por otra parte incrementaría la producción en 2,1%. Los efectos de una reducción de 20% en los costos del transporte de las rutas internas nacionales causarían un aumento en la producción de 3,8%, esto es, 90,500 m3 aserrados y un decremento en las importaciones de 2,2%, lo que sería igual a 102,034 m3 aserrados. Aplicar un arancel de 6 % sobre el precio internacional aumentará la producción en 5,6%, es decir, 132,355 m3 aserrados y reducirá las importaciones en 9,5%, que ascendería a 439,280 m3 aserrados, respecto a los niveles observados en 2001-2003.
