BARRERA PERALES, Octavio Tadeo et al. Viabilidad económica y financiera de la ganadería caprina extensiva en San Luis Potosí, México. Mundo agrar. [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.40, pp.77.e1-77.e2. ISSN 1515-5994.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/15155994e077.

In Mexico, goat rising is an important activity because it generates income and food for families located in arid areas with few alternatives. The objective was to determine the economic and financial viability of the extensive caprine livestock and to identify the factors of permanence of the activity, in San Luis Potosí. To obtain the information the technique of producer panels was used. Goat livestock is profitable in the short and medium term due to the use of family labor and the low cost of feeding in the rangeland, however, the permanence in the long term is uncertain since the cost of the factors of production is not covered.

Keywords : Goat; Income; Costs; Economy peasant; Desert rangeland; Mexico.
