Abstract: This paper discussed the importance that has the farming and rural markets of Huixcolotla and Zacapoaxtla, located in the State of Puebla, Mexico, in regional economic development. The field work was carried out in the years 2011 and 2012. It is an explanatory study that deepens the knowledge of these markets with regard to production, marketing, costs, profits, employment, among others. The study focused on two regions of the State of Puebla: Northern and Central. The first is characterized by the production of crops in the form of temporary, the second is irrigation. The results indicate that both regions are an important revenue generator for the raw material suppliers, producers and marketers. The region of Huixcolotla provides more elements so that a process of accelerated regional economic development, is given since it generates higher profits when sold the product on the market. In addition, the investment of agricultural inputs and generation of jobs is greater. The existence of these rural markets, ensures income for producers and economic activity increases.
