The state of Puebla is the second largest producer of walnuts (Juglans regia L.) in Mexico, emblematic fruit of traditional poblano-mexican dish: "chili in walnut sauce." The production of walnuts is part of the reproductive strategy of rural households in the region Sierra Nevada state of Puebla, main producing area and consuming fresh walnuts in Mexico. The aim of the study was to analyze the profitability and competitiveness of production in the traditional system, which has remained for about 300 years. The study was performed using matrix analysis methodology policy (MAP) with information obtained from 2011 to 2013, through questionnaires applied to 100 producers of walnuts, complemented by in-depth interviews to "representative" producers corn intercropping systems with fruit (MIAF) and orchard. The results indicated that the orchard system is more profitable and competitive than MIAF system at private prices, however at affordable prices MIAF system profitability was negative. Both production systems showed low economic competitiveness.
