| description | The cacao belongs to most important agricultural crops worldwide, in recent
decades facing increasing demand as well as falling production capacity. The dramatically
fall of production of cacao in Mexican agriculture, where it was first domesticated,
is becoming a serious concern for diversity of local production, as local producers are
substituting cacao plantations with more rentable crops thus giving away a rich genetic
as well as agricultural legacy that could under adequate conditions provide a source of
income for large region while maintaining the natural diversity. The paper tries to find
the answer in studying the social capital of cacao producers of Tabasco region, coming to
the conclusion that it is collective action and social capital led production set of practices
that is crucial for the re-installment and prosperity of the plantations, rather than a
single motive such as the recent invasion of Moniliophthora roreri fungus. |

El cacao pertenece a los cultivos agrícolas más importantes en todo el mundo. En las últimas décadas se enfrenta con una creciente demanda, así como con la caída de la capacidad de producción. La caída de la producción de cacao en la agricultura mexicana, donde fue el cacao domesticado por primera vez, se está convirtiendo en una seria preocupación por la diversidad de la producción local, ya que los productores locales están sustituyendo las plantaciones con cultivos más rentables, perdiendo la riqueza genética y cultural. El artículo trata de encontrar la respuesta en el análisis del capital social de los productores de cacao de la región de Tabasco, llegando a la conclusión de que la produccion de cacao es una acción colectiva y relacionada con el tejido sociocultural y por lo tanto el capital social sirve como una base de conjunto de prácticas cruciales para la prosperidad de las plantaciones y lucha exitosa contra Moniliophthora roreri, uno de lo motivos de caída de la producción.
