N2 - Agriculture is considered an essential activity, insofar as it guarantees the food satisfaction of present and future generations, which represents a growth opportunity for agribusiness, whose strategic activity is integrated by agriculture and the transformation of inputs into finished products. The objective of the research is to identify if the use of green technologies affects the performance of the agribusiness sector in Mexico. The research is mixed and correlational. The research results show that agribusiness uses green technologies that minimize its consumption of energy, water, waste and toxic emissions, which were shown to have significant effects on its performance. However, the industry shows a lag in other border technologies such as nanotechnology, biotechnology and bioinformatics, due the high investment that these technologies represent for the sector, whose main structure is characterized by the small and medium size enterprises (SMEs).
