Abstrak	Mexicos avocado industry has experienced strong growth, but this has developed parallel to an intensification of organized crime activity in the countrys principle producing region. In this context, the present article analyzes the strategic response of the avocado industry to a situation of intense criminal activity by examining how it developed competitive sui generis strategies in order to survive and expand in a context dominated by the presence of organized crime groups. The analysis develops the concept of social capital as an expression of competitive capacity to demonstrate how the avocado industry devised unique strategies to achieve growth in a setting of high insecurity. It also demonstrates this industrys great capacity to adapt to its context by utihzing certain intangible assets, especially its knowledge of local political structures and the dynamics of criminal groups.
