The overall objective of this research was to analyze the effect of social and cultural factors in the degree of adoption of cocoa among agricultural producers in the district of Santa Maria de Nieva in the province of Condorcanqui in the Amazonas region. The research was conducted in four Awajun native communities (Santa Rosa de Pagkintsa, Tayuntsa, Putuyacat and Najaim Paraíso) and four villages (Seasme Nuevo, San Jose de Japaime, Jose Olaya and Parcelacion Monterrico). They are located in the tropical rainforest with heavy rainfall, high temperatures (up to 35°C) and relative humidity that exceeds 90%. The methodology included a census of the selected communities. Most of them were part of the Cocoa Production Development Project in Indigenous Communities of the Province of Condorcanqui. The project took place in the period 2006 – 2009 and included the installation of cocoa plantations, genetic improvement, technical assistance, capacity building and organization. Research data collection included both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The former was based on a 90questions survey that was applied to 153 farmers and included sociodemographic and productive information, as well as knowledge, technical assistance, customs and adoption. The latter included interviews and field visits to the cocoa plots. Results allowed data triangulation. SPSS 21 was used to analyze field results. Statistical significance was tested using Spearman Rho and Pearson Chi square. A high statistical significance between knowledge and the adoption of cocoa for both populations was found. As per the influence of technical assistance, the relationship with cocoa adoption is highly significant for Awajun producers and significant for the settlers. The use of minga (community group work) has no effect on cocoa adoption in either population.
