Abstract

La emergencia por la pandemia de COVID-19 impulsó a los gobiernos a establecer alternativas de prevención que alteraron el contexto económico a nivel mundial, haciendo visible la vulnerabilidad de los diferentes sectores de la economía en todos los países, incluyendo los sistemas agroalimentarios. En México, las restricciones implicaron el cierre de mercados fijos y vías de comunicación, por lo que su impacto en los sistemas agroalimentarios que debía ser documentado. Este artículo toma el caso de los de productores de queso artesanal en el Centro de México. A través de entrevistas semiestructuradas aplicadas durante la segunda fase de la pandemia, se documentó el impacto de las restricciones de la COVID-19 en la cadena de producción de leche-queso y en el sector turístico al que se vincula. La respuesta de las familias queseras a la contingencia fue la implementación de Circuitos Cortos de Comercialización como estrategia dual, que mitigó el impacto económico en la cadena leche-queso y generó valor para sus productos a través de la difusión del consumo local de alimentos. Para los productores de quesos artesanales, la pandemia no ha sido una limitación, sino una oportunidad que demestró su capacidad de resiliencia para reorientar el comercio de sus productos.
