The aim of the paper is to propose the commercialization of Mexican handicrafts at the international level as a strategy for the economic development of the country. Also as a factor of impulse to foreign trade. It analyzes the participation of these goods in Mexican exportations and the way in which they generate income for artisans in different regions of the country. In addition, it proposes commercial strategies to increase the volume of products sent abroad from the artisanal sector. The document does not describe in detail all the regions and the crafts that these produce; it offers a wider panorama of the region of Tenango de Doria in which tenangos are embroidered. Recent statistics and specific documents related to particular aspects of the research are illustrated.
