Objective: To determine the degree of trade dependence of the Mexican market on imported barley from 1994 to 2021. Design/Methodology/Approach: The growth rates of the barley production variables in the domestic market were estimated, the relative trade balance was calculated, and the trade dependence was determined. Results: The production variables had growth rates in the analysis period, the relative trade balance was 1, and the trade dependence was close to 0. Study Limitations/Implications: There is no correlation between the barley market and the brewing industry in Mexico. Findings/Conclusions: Mexico is a net importer of barley despite the positive growth rates of the production variables. Nevertheless, this grain does not have a trade dependence on the foreign market.
