Financing Strategy in the Agricultural Sector to Achieve Food Sovereignty through the Application of a Subsidy Policy to This Strategic Sector. Case: Mexico

The agri-food sector represents one of the most dynamic sectors in the Mexican economy, for the
development of business projects requires the flow of resources that guarantees its viability. In this
sense, 11 projects were analyzed of which the main components that integrate the business projects
were identified, as well as two moments: The one before the operation, which we call installation and
the moment of the operation itself, where before reaching the equilibrium point, negative flows are
generated and after this point, the company operates via positive flows. In this respect, funding
sources are identified, which include: The subsidy, the flow of generated resources, the venture
capital participation and financing (subsidized or not); finding a combination of contribution from
resources that guarantee the viability of the business is the basis of a feasible business, so directed
funding at which different concepts of spending and their source of financing are recognized by
developing the strategies that allow to manage resources in the most efficient way represents a
business strategy that guarantees the feasibility of the company. In this sense, identifying funding
sources based on the concept of expenditure represents a tool that allows the agricultural manager to
recognize and seek to obtain resources in a timely manner and at the lowest cost.
