MARTINEZ AGUILAR, Franklin B. et al. Characterization of corn producers and sustainability indicators in Chiapas. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.5, pp.1031-1042.  Epub 03-Oct-2021. ISSN 2007-0934.  https://doi.org/10.29312/remexca.v11i5.2189.

Currently, the information on the maize agroecosystem in the Frailesca region of Chiapas, Mexico, and its forms of management, is insufficient to address it with sustainable development strategies. In the present investigation it was characterized; through a typification of corn producers and their relationship with energy efficiency and its management methods. It is a descriptive and exploratory research from a socio-agronomic approach in 300 cases of farmers, with the support of descriptive statistical techniques, as well as exploratory multivariate of main components and clusters. Six producer groups or typologies were identified based on 11 main components that explain 73% of the total variability. All producer groups are energy efficient, which is associated with the productive and economic efficiency of the agroecosystem. Regarding grain yield, in all producer groups, it ranges between 2.8 and 4 t ha-1. In addition, three large groups of management systems were identified (conventional, agroecological and mixed) carried out by maize producers in the Frailesca region, Chiapas.
