LA COMPETENCIA DE LOS PEQUEÑOS PRODUCTORES DE CUAUTITLÁN, ESTADO DE MÉXICO EN EL MERCADO DE LÁCTEOS DEL 2006 - 2010

Abstract

This work explains how the small milk producers coexist in Cuautitlán, Mexico, in the milk market from the competence, facing an oligopolistic market which is dominated by Alpura and Lala. We can analyze, from a theoretical framework, the concept of market competition. Marxist theory explains such coexistence, argues that inefficient economies will be presented if the market needs them for its development. From the Marxist postulates, competition is generated by the rates of profit and vice versa. There is an elaboration of the analysis of milk national market, which shows that small producers in the market due to excess demand that is not covered by major industries. These small producers have a familiar production so they can take advantage of familiar resources to reduce production costs. While agricultural authorities recognize the needs for these producers to remain in the market due to it's support in different ways so that their costs are lower and can get benefits as well as staying in the market. Staying in the market is unavoidable and therefore you must organize in order to potentiate their competitions and thus achieve stability in the market.
