      abstract = {Florida eggplant producers had the competitive edge over  Mexican producers during the 1984/85 winter season, but the  Mexicans had the advantage in supplying U.S. vegetable  markets with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, green  beans, and squash.  That edge will survive if U.S. prices  remain high enough to offset Mexico's high marketing costs  and if Florida suffers more damaging frosts.  U.S. border  fees contribute to Mexico's high costs.  Enterprise budgets  and weighted average prices are used to assess cost and  price  advantages of producing six winter fresh vegetables  in Florida  and the west Mexico state of Sinaloa.  Cost and  price advantages are used to measure the net competitive  advantage of producing each of the vegetables and supplying  U.S. markets.  Production practices and technological  changes are discussed.},
