Abstract

Purpose: To know the causes of the government's boost to production in greenhouses in Zacatecas, Mexico during the 2000-2012 period and the decrease in incentives which this area had in subsequent public administrations. The aforementioned to evaluate, from the perspective of public policy cycles, the expectations of encouragement from the government towards growth in this important type of agricultural production through the correction of errors in the design of the implementation of the public policy in question.

Methodology: Based on the perspective of public policy cycles, official information, academic research and interviews with key figures, the number of greenhouses and active and inactive areas were analyzed dividing them according to their size in hectares.

Results: Green house policy in Mexico was designed for a producer's profile of a corporate type whose success depends on capital, capacities and abilities before government support. Such a profile was taken as a model when the federal government decided to encourage economic growth based on the corporate sector. Nonetheless, there are producers who suffered difficulties to remain in this type of agriculture. 

Limitations: A part of the statistical data utilized does not include the year to which it corresponds which makes it difficult to have precision in the analysis.

Findings: In the state of Zacatecas, a surge in the number of greehouses can be observed but also a high proportion in a state of inactivity with a prevalence of units lower than a hectare.
