| Abstract | Floriculture is an important agroindustry in some areas of the world, in Mexico it is concentrated in the south of the State of Mexico, it is a relevant activity due to the generation of employment and income. In the floriculture production competitiveness searches through lower prices, leaving the background product quality; the price is low given the reduction of production costs based on low salary levels that do not include social benefits (health, unemployment, retirement). The objective of the research is to analyze the production costs in three systems of rose production (organic, integrated and conventional), thus, the inference of social costs is originated in the precariousness of salary. The theoretical referent consists of the study of the capacity to generate value in the production units; according to the competitive advantage, the generation of value can be achieved through cost leadership or product differentiation. The methodology consists in estimating production costs, including labor costs, for each production system, where the cost structure includes withholding taxes and reporting employee benefits payments. This structure allows estimating gross wages and net salaries. The results show that, in the three production systems, gross salaries are equivalent to net ones, as there is no retention of social benefits. The results show that in the three production systems gross salaries are equivalent to the net because of there is no retention of social benefits. The three production systems present differences in cost levels between them; in turn, the salary paid with and without benefits has a differential between 5% to 7%, this percentage would represent the social cost of floriculture (reduction of social welfare), It is concluded that a greater competitiveness is by way of low prices at the expense of labor precariousness generating social costs. |
