Abstract
Faced with the imminent opening up of the trade in México in 2008, cultivation sugar
cane (Sacchrum spp.) It has a strong competitive pressure from other producing countries that
are operating with cost and low prices. Hence the need to seek production alternatives that
could improve the profitability and competitiveness of this crop. For this propose was raised in
this paper which compares the production systems of drip irrigation (high-tech) and irrigation
by gravity (traditional technology). To performe the evaluation was used prior to the technical
evaluation methodology for determinig the financial Internal Rate of Return (IRR) and Net
Present. To make risk analysis, Trusts Institutions regarding Agriculture, it was used two
packages that use computer simulation of the Monte Carlo Masters Risk and Risk. In this study
we have used the program Risk, which was developed by the staff of FIRA, obtainig an internal
rate of return IRR of 15.4% and 14.5% respectively, and a net present value (NPV) of
$11,475.00 per hectare in irrigated by gravity.
