INTRODUCTION: Knowledge management is essential to ensure the sustainability of rural communities and small producers since it generates value for innovation, productivity, and competitiveness. The aim of this study is to identify relevant factors for adequate decision-making in managing knowledge in the Mexican mezcal industry and its impact on developing rural communities and small producers - mezcaleros. For this purpose, a decision-making model for managing scientific and ancestral knowledge is created to support links with universities, research centers, and rural communities to accelerate innovation and competitiveness in this sector.
