The potentialities of intercultural mediation are presented as a contribution to the productivity of small cocoa producers in the Manabí province of Ecuador, analyzed from a qualitative, inductive methodology, under the interpretive paradigm, considering the characteristics of associations in the cocoa sector. The role played by the institutions related to this sector was identified, from their action with programs, both intervention and monitoring. Interview techniques were applied to representatives of the competent institutions, as well as focus groups with members of the associations. The results allow us to infer that there are indications of intercultural mediation in the production processes, exposed by national and international institutions and organizations; Although this mediation is not structured with due planning and with professionals in the area, it is considered as a contribution to the productivity of the sector.
