• Abstract: The research developed here is the first part of a series of investigations to be carried out in the agricultural coast of H. Caborca, Sonora, Mexico. In the first stage of this work, some anthropometric dimensions of the agricultural workers who work as asparagus packers were recorded, in order to generate an anthropometric database for the realization of a second stage where the design of workstations and tools that can be adjusted to the needs and capabilities of the workers will be carried out. It is important to have a database of the anthropometric measurements of the asparagus packing workers of the coast of H. Caborca, Sonora, Mexico. The relevance of having this anthropometric database of asparagus packing workers becomes important at the time of designing workstations or tools, so that the worker does not have to adapt to his work environment and that, based on the results of this research, at a later stage an optimal workstation can be made for the performance of his activities as an asparagus packer, that is, that the work area adapts to the worker and not vice versa.
