The objective was to determine, by analyzing Strengths, Opportunities, Weaknesses and Threats (SOWT), whether the agro-industrial chain of Adobera Cheese in the Highlands (Los Altos) of Jalisco could provide a focus for local and regional development. Structured surveys were applied to 55 milk producers, 13 cheese makers and 8 tradesmen, as well as open interviews with milk and cheese collectors, representatives of producer organizations and officials from back-up institutions. Information collected was organized based on the agro-industrial chain approach. According to collective memory in the region, Adobera Cheese from the Highlands of Jalisco is known by that name because the curd is placed in rectangular wooden molds, usually crafted from mesquite wood, producing a cheese similar in shape to an “adobe” brick, used in construction. Although this cheese is valued in the area and there are strategies that can be implemented to make the agro-industrial chain a focus of local and regional development, its main weakness must first be resolved, which is the producers’ unwillingness to become organized. We conclude that good governance, as well robust social capital, is important for the chain to achieve this.
