| description | In 2007, government of Chiapas began to promote the Jatropha curcas production in La Frailesca, Chiapas for biofuels. The main objective of this study was to determine whether the Jatropha production has comparative advantages and is competitive without government support. The policy analysis matrix methodology was used to analyze the following Jatropha technologies: 1) monocrop in the first four years, 2) monocrop since the fifth year and, 3) polycropping of Jatropha, corn and peanut in the first four years. Results indicate that in the first four years, growers have losses of MXN $5050 ha-1 if Jatropha is produced as monocrop, and they obtain profits from the fifth year of MXN $ 14 719 ha-1. In the first four years the growers obtain profits of MXN $ 13 753 ha-1 if Jatropha is produced in polycropping with corn and peanuts. The cost of domestic resources is 1.14, 0.37 and 0.47 in technologies 1, 2 and 3 respectively, indicating that Jatropha has advantages only from the fifth year. The benefit-cost ratio was 0.92, 1.95 and 1.76 for technologies 1, 2 and 3 respectively, indicating that Jatropha production is competitive in the long run from the fifth year onwards, and in the first four years Jatropha should be associated with corn and peanut to avoid losses. Jatropha production is profitable in Chiapas, therefore it is convenient to promote it. |

En 2007, el gobierno del estado de Chiapas empezó a impulsar la producción de Jatropha curcas en La Frailesca, Chiapas para la producción de biocombustibles. Con el objetivo de determinar si dicha producción tiene ventajas comparativas y es competitiva sin apoyo del gobierno, se utilizó la metodología Matriz de Análisis de Política para analizar las siguientes tecnologías: 1) monocultivo en los primeros cuatro años, 2) monocultivo a partir del quinto año y 3) policultivo de Jatropha-maíz-cacahuate en los primeros cuatro años. Los resultados indican que los productores incurren en pérdidas por MXN $ 5050 ha-1 ha en los primeros cuatro años si la Jatropha se produce como monocultivo, y solo a partir del quinto año obtienen ganancia por MXN $14 719 ha-1. El productor obtiene ganancias en los primeros cuatro años por MXN $ 13 753 ha-1 cuando la Jatropha es producida en policultivo con maíz y cacahuate. El costo de los recursos internos es de 1.14, 0.37 y 0.47 en las tecnologías 1, 2 y 3 respectivamente, lo cual indica que la actividad cuenta con ventajas únicamente a partir del quinto año. La relación beneficio-costo fue 0.92, 1.95 y 1.76 para las tecnologías 1, 2 y 3 respectivamente; lo cual indica que la producción de Jatropha solamente es rentable en el largo plazo, a partir del quinto año, y que en los primeros cuatro años se debe producir de forma asociada con maíz y cacahuate para evitar pérdidas. La producción de Jatropha es rentable en Chiapas, por lo que es conveniente promover esta actividad.
