Abstract: Scientific and technological management is now imperative for regional and national development, especially, in sectors with social and economic importance. For this reason, this study presents a study of technological surveillance for the agroindustrial sector based on search equations in the Scopus database. Likewise, a plan was defined to carry out the study which contemplates four stages: scientific production, outstanding researchers in scientific production, countries with the largest number of publications and outstanding institutions with scientific production. Finally, the growing trend in research related to the utility of by products and properties of products of agricultural origin was evidenced during the studied decade.
