Extensionism in Mexico emerged as a system of assistance and education to improve production efficiency in the agricultural sector. Initially small groups were instructed in low-income regions to mainly traditional crops such as corn and beans and in minor proportion to livestock species. Subsequently, extension programs were structured to promote productive techniques and methods that improved the efficiency and income of producers. In addition, institutions are involved with the participation of field professionals oriented to the transfer of technology without considering a specific model of evaluation of the dissemination program, product of the involvement of several institutions such as Secretary of Agriculture, Bank, The Agricultural Insurance and others. From the above, it can be deduced that the program had high expectations however; the expected results were not given due to lack of institutional coordination.
