La metodología de la cadena de valor nos permite realizar un diagnóstico de la situación actual. Posteriormente, podemos hacer un análisis de los actores que intervienen en ella y desarrollar estrategias que ayuden a la mejora de la actividad. En este trabajo de investigación se analiza la cadena de valor del mezcal de San Felipe, desde un punto de vista de los mismos productores para poder identificar los eslabones de la cadena de valor. La información se recabó mediante encuestas y entrevistas estructuradas. La información señala que la cadena de valor del mezcal en el municipio se encuentra en un nivel bajo de competitividad. Además, se encuentra desarticulada tanto en relaciones horizontales como en las relaciones verticales. Es recomendable un mayor compromiso por parte de los actores para poder fortalecer las relaciones entre los eslabones de la cadena, así como fomentar la capacitación y asistencia técnica en las distintas áreas de producción y hacer un llamado a las instituciones de investigación y enseñanza para la elaboración de estrategias de competitividad.]]></p></abstract>

The value chain methodology allows us to make a diagnosis of the current situation. Subsequently, we can make an analysis of the actors involved in it and develop strategies that help improve the activity. This research work analyzes the mezcal value chain of San Felipe, from the point of view of the producers themselves to identify the links in the value chain. Information was collected through surveys and structured interviews. The information indicates that the mezcal value chain in the municipality is at a low level of competitiveness. In addition, it is disjointed in both horizontal and vertical relationships. A greater commitment on the part of the actors is recommended to be able to strengthen the relationships between the links of the chain, as well as to promote training and technical assistance in the different areas of production and to call on research and teaching institutions for the development of competitiveness strategies.]]></p></abstract>
