Popis: This study was conducted with the objective of determining the perception about the Mexican countryside, farmers, entrepreneurs and academics analyze the period 1982 to 2018. 30 producers, 20 businessmen and 10 academics, were selected in each region. Each of the groups were surveyed in their own workplaces, about their personal perception of the current situation of the Mexican countryside, 36 years after its implementation (1982). The collected data were analyzed by Chi-square test (x 2), 95% confidence, using descriptive statistics also by analysis group. The results show significant differences between the groups considered, according to its particular perception on the impact of globalization. Producers mostly considered that it did not serve and led to more poverty and problems in the field, while employers to a greater extent compared with this perception, since for them, globalization improved the productivity and the quality of life. Among academics there were discrepancies equal in terms of the positive or negative impact. It is no doubt that globalization is a complex phenomenon that had contrasting results, characterized by enormous economic inequality caused.
