It was used The Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) and the Break Even Analysis (PE) to determine private competitiveness,production costs structure and break-even point of eleven pig production units (PPU). Considering current marketMexican prices of 2010, the UPP L340, L234, H726, P55, P250, H52 and H120 were profitable and competitive. Each$0.4 and $0.9 spent on internal factors generated an aggregate value of $1, covering domestic factors of productioncosts, generating income that ranged between 1 and 10 %. Average production cost of 1 kg of live hog on the UPPstudied during 2010 was $22.3; main components were tradable inputs, domestic factors and indirectly tradableinputs: 86.5, 6.8 and 6.7 % respectively, most representative items were feed (75.9 %), medicines (8.1 %), labor(5.2 %) and fuel (1.6 %). Highest production cost was found in the UPP located in Huandacareo, ($22.8) followedby La Piedad ́s UPP ($22.3) and Purépero ́s ($21.9). UPP studied required between 44.1 and 115.4 % of their incometo equate their costs. Larger scale was not a determinant of higher profitability, greater competitiveness, lowerprivate production costs and smaller break-even point on the UPP studied.
