Abstract
Guava is one of the most important fruit crops in Zacatecas, Mexico. However, its permanence as an agrifood chain could be at risk. This research evaluated the current positioning of the guava chain. The information supporting these results was collected using the International Service for National Agricultural Research (ISNAR) methodology. The results indicated that guava is in a retraction status due to low socioeconomic importance and competitiveness. This situation is due to a significant decrease in the established area with guava, induced by various climatic, productive, and economic factors that growers have been experiencing. Therefore, it is necessary to improve crop productivity through the dissemination and adoption of technological innovations to improve yield.
