Evolución del producto interno bruto (PIB) de la industria del aserrío: ícono del sector forestal mexicano (1995-2019)

Abstract

Sawmills are economically important in Mexico due to the generation of added value in forest species Mexico due to the transformation of round wood to sawn wood, the sawmill industry is located in all agro ecological regions and states. These units are source of employment for women and men in remote areas inhabited by the poor and extreme poverty population, the objective of the was to quantify the monetary value that the sawmill industry contributes to the forest economy, for which statistical data from INEGI was used and SEMARNAT, the first with valuable information and the second on production in m3r; a 25-years horizon was considered: 1995-2019, which was broken down into four six-year terms and the first year of the current administration to know, the behavior, trend and participation of the economic value of the sawmill in various macroeconomic aggregates. The methodology consisted of using current (market) values and constant (deflated) values, with the base year 2013 (according to INEGI and in thus make the data comparable, know trends and quantify their variations with the statistical function average annual growth rate (tmca). In real terms, the importance of the value in the Mexican economy of the sawmill industry during the period of analysis was very scarce since at the country level it represented on average of the 25 years considered, only 0.09% of the national GDP and at the sector level primary (agriculture, livestock, forestry, hunting and fishing) increased its share to 2.81% of primary GDP.
