      abstract = {The prickly pear is a product with origin in Latin America  and that was led by the conquerors to other continents that  were eligible for cultivation. Mexico has the highest  diversity and abundance of species (around 80) and prickly  pear cultivars worldwide, so it is regarded as a center of  origin and spread of the plant. The production potential of  this crop is due to the wealth of genetic material, to the  surface dedicated to do so and the many climates where the  ground has been established. By 2010, in Mexico there were  415,086 tons, particularly in the State of Mexico, it  accounted for 43.0% of national production. The study was  conducted in
the municipalities of Nopaltepec and Axapusco  that are located in the Orient region of the state. The  methodological tool which was used for the analysis of  profitability is the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM), in order  to quantify the profitability of the tuna production in  the
affected municipalities. The results obtained show that  the producers were profitable production for the 2011  production cycle, production units Nopaltepec do a better  management of
orchards Axapusco producers, therefore, have  higher incomes as well as make greater investments  activities also. It generated a significant economic  benefit in the purchase of tradable inputs and domestic  factors where manual labor is the most important, so the  fruit is very demanding labor by the nature of the process  of obtaining the product.},
