| description | The current state of information on the resin producer Mexican flora, as well as its present and potential applications are reviewed. Plant exudates are regaining their place in the international market and Mexico has a rich coniferous flora, tropical hardwoods and temperate vines, trees, shrubs, and climbing plants which produce resins in varying amounts, having wide application in human activities. Plant exudates are considered minor forest produce (MFP) or non-timber forest products (NTFPs), and could reach or perhaps exceed the economic value of timber production. The 28 plant families mentioned in this review are widely represented in the Mexican flora; they belong to 79 genera which include species that produce resins and are documented in the technical literature. It is necessary to know them deeply in order to identify niche opportunities whether it is in the food industry, leather tanning, processing of varnish, wood preservatives or additives, as they can be viable for the sustainable management of forests and jungles, provided they are used to improve conditions for producers and workers who participate in its transformation. |

Se revisa el estado actual de la información sobre la flora mexicana productora de resinas, así como sus aplicaciones actuales y potenciales. Los exudados vegetales están recuperando su lugar en el mercado internacional y México posee una amplia flora de coníferas, latifoliadas tropicales y de clima templado, árboles, arbustos y trepadoras, las cuales en mayor o menor cantidad producen resinas que tienen una amplia aplicación en actividades humanas. Los exudados vegetales son considerados productos forestales menores (PFM) o productos forestales no maderables (PFNM), y pudieran alcanzar o tal vez superar el valor económico de la producción maderera. Las 28 familias botánicas mencionadas en esta revisión están representadas ampliamente en la flora mexicana, en ellas están incorporados 79 géneros, los cuales incluyen especies que está documentado en la literatura botánica que producen resinas. Es necesario conocerlas profundamente para identificar nichos de oportunidad sea en la industria alimentaria, el curtido de pieles, la elaboración de barnices, la de preservadores o de aditivos de maderas, ya que pueden ser alternativas viables para el manejo sostenible de bosques y selvas, siempre y cuando se aprovechen para mejorar las condiciones de los productores y de aquellos trabajadores que participan en su transformación.
