Mangifera indica L., generally known as mango, is a product in demand throughout the world and especially in the US. The lack of knowledge of the commercial positioning within the framework of the TMEC of the Mexican mango is a significant problem to study due to the relevance of the product. The goal of this study was to examine the commercial competitiveness of the Mexican mango within the US trade in the framework of the USMCA, through the determination of logarithmic growth rates using data exports, imports, and mango production, as well as commercial competitiveness indices during the period 1994-2020. As a methodology, a data set of production, exports, and imports in tons and dollars was documented. The sources consulted were TRADEMAP, SIAP, USDA, and FAOSTAT in the period 1994-2020 and trade competitiveness indices were calculated. The results indicate that exports grew 361%, and imports grew, but they continue to be insignificant; the indicators showed a positive situation in general, the relative trade balance index was very close to 1, the tradability index was 0.13 on average, the degree of export openness was positive in all years, imports presented in the degree of penetration values very close to 0. We conclude that the demand of the United States grows in greater proportion than the Mexican supply. Therefore, the increases in national production are expected to be absorbed by the US market, leading to a significant and sustained increase in competitiveness.

Palabras clave : Competitiveness in the USMCA; export competitiveness; international agricultural trade; mango productivity; tradability.
