英文摘要	The objective of this article is to analyze the food transport in Ecuador faced with a possible reduction in the subsidy of diesel, taking as a case study the Metropolitan Public Company Wholesale Marketplace of Quito, in order to identify guidelines for the formulation of strategies in the event of a reduction in the subsidy of this fuel. A bottom-up methodology is applied, which uses a survey as a tool, as well as secondary information generated by the state organizations. It is concluded that this investigation identifies the agro-food transport sector of the Wholesale Market. The median fuel consumption and energy intensity, of trucks that arrive with products at the Quito Wholesale Market, are 31 (l/100 km) and 15 (l/100tkm), respectively. The median percentage of the cost of fuel, with respect to the price of the product, is 1.2%. Meanwhile, assuming that the fuel subsidy was eliminated, and the price of diesel came to cost $ 2.27 USD/gallon; the median percentage of price increase in the product would be 1.6%. However, the low regulation on the sector makes the cost of agri-food more susceptible to a decrease in the subsidy. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
