This study analyze the performance, investment and
profitability of three chili hybrids of the Company “González Produce RESE SPR
DE RL”, in Cuatro Caminos, San Gabriel, Jalisco, Mexico. The chili pepper is
consumed fresh within the country and is also exported to the United States.
Different species and varieties of chili peppers are grown,5 from broad,
jalapeños, serranos (green), poblano, mirasol (known as dry guajillo), bell or
bell pepper, anaheim and caloro. The experimental unit was one hectare per hybrid,
with fertigation and mulching. The beds were 1.20 m wide, with double-row
planting and 0.30 m of separation between plants. The yield (t ha-1) was
calculated with the number of harpillas harvested, multiplied by 30 kg for
Caloro and Jalapeño, and 25 kg for Serrano. Economic income, cost / benefit
ratio, equilibrium point and invested weight gain were estimated. Chile Serrano
registered 1,658 arpillas ha-1, equivalent to 41 t ha-1, surpassed Caloro and
Jalapeño by 8.39 and 36.0%, respectively. Caloro’s production cost was $
32,631.66 USD ha-1 (Exchange rate 1 dollar = 17.0493, 10 February, 2024), 34
and 51% higher than Serrano and Jalapeño. The income obtained from the sale of
Serrano pepper was $ 56,838.11 USD, 3.9 and 31% higher than Caloro and Jalapeño.
The C / B ratio for Serrano was 1.85; Caloro, 1.74 and Jalapeño, 1.26. The
equilibrium point was reached for Caloro at 7.08 t ha-1, Serrano – Platino and
Jalapeño –Valquiria with 10.21 and 20.72 t ha-1, respectively. The prices of
chili, as with most agricultural products, are a function of the demand and
supply in the market and the harvest season, that is, the first harvests have a
higher value in the market.
