**Report Highlights:**

Mexico implemented a number of reforms during the late 1980s and early
1990s that affected the agricultural sector and culminated with the
signing of the North American Free Trade agreement. Mexican agriculture
has since undergone a number of changes. Rural poverty rates have
declined; exports, area planted, and farm size have increased;
diversification into higher value crops has occurred, all suggesting
healthy development of the agricultural sector. At the same time, farmer
numbers, agricultural employment, and real farm prices have all dropped,
while imports have increased, freeing significant supplies of
agricultural labor. Unfortunately, Mexico's economy has not grown fast
enough to absorb excess agricultural labor. Record remittances from
abroad and agricultural subsidies have helped to augment incomes in
rural areas, however, the future of rural areas likely lies in economic
development rather than agricultural development.

# Summary

Beginning in the late 1980's, Mexico embarked on a series of measures to
reform its economic and agricultural sector. These measures included the
1992 modification of Article 27 of the Constitution that allowed farmers
to sell or rent their communal lands and culminated in the
implementation of the North American Free trade Agreement (NAFTA) in
1994.

In some respects, the results of those measures could be characterized
as textbook examples of what happens when a developing economy with
relatively limited natural agricultural resources opens its borders to
increased competition from abroad and gains improved access to major
markets. Farmers have expanded planted area, increased farm size,
increased exports, and improved productivity in some cases, while
shifting to higher value crops that take advantage of labor and climatic
factors in Mexico. At the same time, real prices for agricultural
products, the number of farmers (farmers now make up less than three
percent of Mexico's population), agricultural employment, and
agriculture's share of the labor force have all declined, while imports
have increased.

The results of the reforms would likely have been even more pronounced
were it not for certain structural, cultural, and policy variables in
Mexico. Despite the ongoing migration of people from rural areas to
urban centers in Mexico and the United States, the number of people
living in rural areas actually increased over the course of the NAFTA.
This can perhaps be attributed to factors such as increased remittances
from workers living abroad, agricultural subsidies, strong ties to
Mexico's communal land system, and demographic factors such as the aging
and feminization of Mexico's rural areas.

Perhaps most importantly, rural poverty rates, after increasing
dramatically following the financial crisis of the mid-1990s, are now
lower than before the NAFTA. Nevertheless, the majority of Mexico's
rural population continues to live in poverty. Unfortunately, other
sectors of Mexico's economy have not created enough jobs to absorb what
may have been the inevitable increase in surplus labor from the
agricultural sector resulting from the reforms of the late 1980s and
early 1990s. While poverty was a fact of life in Mexico's rural areas
long before the NAFTA, it seems that now more than ever, the route out
of poverty for many farmers and workers in the agricultural sector lies
not in efforts to raise agricultural productivity, but in opportunities
to work in other sectors and either augment their farm income or leave
agriculture altogether. End Summary

# Mexico, Agriculture, and NAFTA

In recent years, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and its
effects, both real and assumed, on Mexican agriculture and Mexican
farmers, particularly small farmers and the communities in which they
live, have been an important topic of public and policy debate in
Mexico. As tariffs and quantitative trade restrictions have been
eliminated, farm groups who represent small agricultural producers have
questioned the benefits of more open trade with the United States and
Canada. Some believe that Mexican rural communities and producers are
worse off and require additional protection against imports of certain
products. Others believe that the Mexican government has not done enough
to reform the agricultural sector, attract private investment or foster
competitiveness. Some leaders have called for a renegotiation of NAFTA
or an extension of protections on sensitive products, particularly white
corn and beans. The NAFTA discussion is likely to continue in the run up
to the completion of the final NAFTA transition period on December 31,
2007.

# Some Basic Background

Over the past 20 years, Mexico has taken a number of steps to reform its
agricultural sector and integrate its agricultural markets with global
markets. In 1986, Mexico became a member of the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade and by 1990 had largely replaced its import-licensing
scheme with a system of tariffs. Starting in 1988, institutional reforms
led to the privatization of public fertilizer and seed companies and the
eventual elimination of most parastatal purchasing and warehousing
companies. Government institutions such as ASERCA (Supports and Services
to the Commercialization of Agriculture) were created to deliver
supports and services to producers and facilitate development of the
agricultural sector. In 1990, guaranteed prices for major grains and
oilseeds (except corn and dry beans) were eliminated. During 1992,
Article 27 of Mexico's Constitution was reformed to allow communal
landholders to sell, purchase, rent, or use their lands as collateral.
PROCAMPO (Program of Direct Supports to Rural Areas) was implemented in
late 1993 to assist farmers during the NAFTA transition period. In 1994,
Mexico, along with the United States and Canada, became a member of the
NAFTA. In 1995, the Government of Mexico established the Alliance for
the Countryside consisting of programs designed to help producers become
more productive.

The NAFTA established transition periods of 9 and 14 years during which
tariffs and quantitative restrictions were reduced incrementally to
allow for governments and farmers to adjust to increased competition
from imports. In the months leading up to the completion of the first
transition period on December 31, 2002, opposition political parties
seeking rural votes prior to midterm elections pointed to the NAFTA and
the U.S. Farm Bill as contributors to rural poverty in Mexico.
Farmer-initiated border and road closures, frequent protests in Mexico
City, and a continual stream of press articles fueled the intense public
debate. In addition to traditional farmer groups such as the
Confederacion Nacional Campesina (National Federation of Campesinos),
new groups like El Barzon and El Campo No Aguanta Mas (The Countryside
Can't Stand Anymore), formed to call for more government support for
small farmers and to question the benefits of free trade. The debate
culminated in the signing of the Acuerdo Nacional para el Campo
(National Agreement on Agriculture) in April of 2003 (see MX3067).

The final NAFTA transition period will end December 31, 2007, when
remaining tariff and quantitative restrictions on exports of U.S. corn,
dry beans, milk powder, sugar, and orange juice (plus chicken leg
quarters after the signing of a July 2003 safeguard agreement) are
eliminated. These are some of the most sensitive products in Mexico. In
addition, PROCAMPO will terminate at the end of 2007. Congress has begun
work on legislation to either replace or at least extend PROCAMPO beyond
2007. However, the Senate and Lower Chamber did not reach an agreement
during their most recent and final session and the matter will be taken
up when the new Congress convenes in the fall of 2006 following
elections. Mexico's constitution prohibits the funding of multi-year
public programs, unlike U.S. farm legislation, a limitation which could
hinder attempts to implement longer-term support mechanisms. With the
election of a new President in 2006 who will take office on December 1,
2006, 2007 will likely prove to be an important year in determining
future agricultural policy as it relates to trade and domestic supports.

# Production Agriculture Holds Its Own 

Area planted to all crops expanded during the NAFTA, climbing from 19.2
million ha in 1993 to a high of 22.1 million ha in 1997, before dropping
marginally to 21.9 million ha in 2004 (see Table 1). Area planted to
annual crops varied more widely. Reforms in the agricultural sector led
to a steady drop in area planted to annual crops from the late 1980s to
1993. Establishment of PROCAMPO in 1994 helped area planted to rebound
sharply, climbing from 14.7 million ha to 17.1 million ha in 1997,
before declining to 16.1 million ha in 2004. Area planted to higher
value perennial crops has climbed steadily since 1985 and gained 1.3
million ha over the course of the NAFTA. There was notable
diversification into higher value crops such as fruits and vegetables
(see Table 2) where Mexico enjoys climate and labor advantages. Planted
area for 33 different crops increased 50 percent or more for a total
area gain of 1.5 million ha. Area planted to sorghum and corn for silage
also increased significantly, reflecting growing feed demand from
Mexico's livestock industry.

As further evidence of the relative stability in the agricultural
sector, in terms of value, the significance of Mexico's top 10 crops
within the agriculture sector was largely unchanged over the course of
the NAFTA transition (see Table 3). Three crops, oranges, bananas, and
wheat, dropped from the top 10 and were replaced by sorghum, potatoes,
and avocados. Similarly, the top 10 crops accounted for 71 percent of
total planted area in 2004 and 62 percent of total revenue, virtually
unchanged from 1993.

In a recent survey conducted by a private firm on behalf of the
Secretariat of Agriculture, farmers who did not change the crops they
planted over the course of the PROCAMPO program cited the following
reasons for not shifting to other crops.

1.  Lack of financing, 62 percent

2.  Tradition or custom, 55 percent

3.  Easier to market current crops, 43 percent

4.  Soil not suitable for other crops, 39 percent

5.  Didn't find any alternatives, 35 percent

6.  Better income from current crop, 34 percent

7.  Didn't know they could change without losing PROCAMPO supports, 34
    percent

8.  Didn't know how to produce other crops, 28 percent

9.  Didn't have the infrastructure, 27 percent

Despite the overall growth in planted area and diversification into
higher value crops, some crops suffered area losses between 1993 and
2004 (see table below). Nevertheless, the number of crops that lost area
was less than the number that gained area and many were relatively minor
crops at the start of the NAFTA transition period. Among major crops,
soybeans, wheat, and cotton lost significant area as imports of these
three products increased during the transition.

# Real Prices on the Decline 

## 

One of the most significant developments in Mexican agriculture over the
past 25 years has been the drop in real producer prices, a process that
began in the late 1970's, well before the NAFTA was signed. Farmers
around the world have grappled with this trend, and in Mexico's case,
the onset of the NAFTA did little to slow the decline, as real prices
for nearly all agricultural commodities dropped steadily during the
NAFTA transition period. The effects of the mid-1990's financial crisis
and the subsequent high rates of inflation compounded the problem.

In some cases, Mexican producers of crops such as tomatoes,
strawberries, green chiles, watermelon, apples, and sorghum were able to
offset the drop in real prices by increasing productivity (see table
below). Unfortunately, many of Mexico's farmers were not able to make
similar gains in improving productivity. Wheat and soybeans, two crops
that experienced significant declines in area planted during the NAFTA
transition, were hurt by both poor productivity and real price declines.
Corn productivity improved, but not enough to offset the drop in real
prices.

# Livestock, Meat and Dairy Products See Gains

In real terms, the value of production in all livestock sectors
increased during the NAFTA transition (see table below). Poultry meat,
eggs, and dairy led the way, increasing 106 percent, 62 percent, and 34
percent respectively. Despite the relative overall success of the
livestock sector, key producer elements within the sector have been
strong advocates for increased trade protections. The Government of
Mexico has imposed dumping duties on U.S. beef and at one point the beef
industry was considering requesting a safeguard. Similarly, dumping
duties on live U.S. hogs were in place for a time and there have been
two dumping investigations of U.S. pork exports, both of which were
terminated without the imposition of duties. The most recent case is
currently facing a NAFTA panel at the request of Mexican pork producers.
The poultry sector entered into a safeguard agreement with the U.S.
industry during July of 2003 (see MX3099). The agreement applies to
chicken leg quarters and will terminate on December 31, 2007.

Despite the increase in the value of production in meats and animals
products during the NAFTA transition, real prices received for meat and
dairy products at the retail level also declined between 1994 and 2005.
However, the real price decline has been offset by increased
productivity within the sector and increased demand from consumers for
all types of meat and dairy products.

# Trade on the Rise

Mexico's imports and exports of agricultural, forest, and fishery
products (henceforth known as agricultural products for the purposes of
this report) increased dramatically between 1995 and 2005. According to
Government of Mexico trade data, Mexico's agricultural exports to the
world increased 84 percent to \$12.9 billion in 2005, while imports
increased 202 percent to \$15.3 billion (see tables 4 and 5). Despite
Mexico's success as an agricultural exporter during this period, Mexico
shifted from a net exporter of agricultural products to a net importer
and currently has an agricultural trade deficit of USD \$2.4 billion.
The United States continues to be Mexico's principal agricultural
trading partner, consistently accounting for about 85 percent of
Mexico's exports from 1995 to 2005. Similarly, the United States is also
the primary supplier of agricultural products to Mexico accounting for
between 67-77 percent of imports during the same period.

While the importance that NAFTA plays in Mexico's agricultural trade is
evident, the Government of Mexico has signed a number of trade
agreements with other countries and has worked to develop new markets
for agricultural products. Some of those efforts appear to be paying off
as agricultural exports to Japan (a trade agreement was completed in
2004) jumped USD \$260 million to USD \$406 million in 2005. Mexico's
Secretariat of Agriculture has also focused marketing and technical
efforts on the Chinese market and exports to China have also increased
considerably, but from a very small base. Exports to Central America of
USD \$400 million in 2005, up from USD \$100 million in 1995, are
further evidence of Mexico's importance as a regional agricultural
supplier. Mexico also has a trade agreement with the European Union and
exported USD \$506 million in agricultural products during 2005, but
that there has been little growth in that market for Mexican
agricultural products.

Looking at imports, U.S. market share has dropped marginally in recent
years, from a high of 76.5 percent in 1998 to 68.7 percent in 2005 as
other exporters have begun to chip away at the market. Imports of
agricultural products from the European Union more than doubled between
1995 and 2005, climbing to USD \$962 million. Mexico's 2005 agricultural
imports from Chile, who also has a trade agreement with Mexico, were USD
\$779 million, up from USD \$71 million in 1995. Mexico's agricultural
imports from China have also expanded significantly, from less than USD
\$10 million in 1995 to USD \$248 million in 2005. Combined, Chile, the
European Union, and China now supply 13 percent (USD \$2.0 billion) of
Mexico's agricultural imports.

The composition of Mexico's top imports and exports was relatively
stable between 1995 and 2005 (see Table 6). Top imports were principally
centered on the animal complex and growing consumer demand for animal
products; grains and oilseeds to meet the needs of Mexico's growing
livestock, poultry, and dairy industries and meat products to augment
domestic supplies of meat and milk. Exports tend to reflect Mexico's
advantages as producer of high value labor-intensive crops such as
fruits and vegetables.

Note: Government of Mexico trade data indicate that Mexico currently had
a slight agricultural trade surplus with the United States in 1995. U.S.
trade data indicate that the United States exported USD \$9.9 billion in
agricultural products to Mexico in 2005 and imported USD \$9.1 billion
for a U.S. trade surplus of USD \$800 million. U.S. trade data also
indicate that agricultural exports from Mexico to the United States have
grown faster than U.S. exports to Mexico since the start of the NAFTA.

# Agriculture's Share of GDP and Agricultural Employment Decline 

In real terms, Agriculture's share of GDP declined marginally during the
NAFTA transition period from 6.0 percent in 1995 to 5.3 percent in 2004.
Food processing's share of GDP was stable, dropping slightly from 5.0
percent in 1995 to 4.9 percent in 2003 (see Table 9). Like many
developing countries, Mexico continues to have too high a percentage of
its labor force working in production agriculture relative to the GDP
the sector generates. However, some rationalization of this excess labor
supply appears to have taken place over the past 15 years as the
percentage of agricultural workers in the labor force declined steadily
after 1991, dropping from 26.8 percent in 1991 to 15.1 percent in 2005
(see Table 10). Similarly, the number of agricultural workers dropped
significantly from 8.2 million in 1991 to 6.3 million in 2005 as
measured by the National Employment Survey. A significant number of
agricultural workers, nearly 25 percent in 2002, were underemployed (see
Table 11), significantly worse than in 1993 when only seven percent of
workers were considered underemployed. If this trend continues, it would
provide additional pressure for workers to leave the agricultural sector
in search of alternate employment.

Annual agricultural income per worker dropped nearly 17 percent in real
terms from 1990 to 2003 (see Table 12). However, among workers whose
employers contribute to the social security system (such jobs are
presumed to be better paying and more stable than jobs where social
security is not paid), average daily salaries increased a modest four
percent (significantly less than in other sectors) in real terms over
the same period (see Table 13). Agriculture continues to be the poorest
paying among major employment categories and wages are just 58 percent
of the national average when social security is paid.

The worsening of underemployment and overall decline in agricultural
wages would seem to indicate that the Mexican economy is not generating
enough alternative employment to absorb workers who are leaving the
agriculture sector or draw workers from the sector to better paying
jobs. In real terms, Mexico's economy grew at 3.0 percent and 4.3
percent in 2005 and 2004 respectively. Most analysts agree that these
growth rates are not high enough to raise millions of Mexican families
out of poverty and create enough jobs to absorb new entrants into the
job market.

# Number of Farmers Also Drops

The number of farmers declined from 4.3 million in 1991 to 2.7 million
in 2003 according to the National Employment Survey (see Table 14).
Between 1999 and 2003, farmer numbers dropped in all categories except
the "Owner Without Land" category (thought to be principally farmers
with livestock grazing on rented land), which increased markedly. Data
from the Secretariat of Agriculture's PROCAMPO subsidy program suggest
that the number of farmers stabilized between 2003 and 2005. The
Secretariat had a target farmer population of 2.8 million farmers and
was able to deliver program payments to 85 percent of that target or 2.4
million farmers. Farmers now make up less than three percent of Mexico's
population. The overall increase in planted area coupled with the drop
in farmers resulted in an increase in annual area planted per farmer
during the NAFTA, from an estimated average of 4.7 ha planted per farmer
to 8.0 ha planted per farmer.

Mexico continues to be a country of primarily small farmers. The 1994
census of agriculture indicated that 29 percent of farmers had less than
two hectares, 24 percent had between two and five hectares, and 37
percent had more than five hectares, with 10 percent not reporting (see
MX3055). Looking at the size of land parcels registered with the
PROCAMPO subsidy program, which covers an estimated 85 percent of
farmers, parcel sizes have gotten somewhat larger since 1995, but the
vast majority are still small plots of land, with 86 percent plots five
hectares or less (see tables below). Corn growers who account for the
majority of farmers in Mexico have relatively small land parcels, as
85.5 percent of corn farmers had farms of less than five hectares in
2003.

Farmers continue to divide their land parcels, passing on their land
holdings and PROCAMPO benefits to subsequent generations. Between 2002
and 2005 an average of 6,459 parcels with an average size of 9.4 ha were
divided annually, creating 21,042 parcels with an average size of 2.8
ha. Consolidation of landholdings is also taking place, but at a
slightly slower rate in recent years. Between 2002 and 2005, an average
of 6,200 land parcels were consolidated annually to form an average of
2,624 parcels with an average size of 8.9 ha. Nevertheless, the
consolidation and dividing of parcels are taking place at very low rates
relative to the total number of parcels. The results of a recent study
conducted on behalf of the Secretariat of Agriculture suggest that
farmers are actively buying and renting land; a factor that may not be
fully reflected by looking at parcel consolidation data. In a survey of
PROCAMPO participants, half said that they had purchased land since they
began participating in the program, nearly a third said that they had
rented land, and seventeen percent said they had sold land.

For producers of corn, beans, and other lower value crops, the economics
of small-scale farming appear to hold little promise of producing an
income that would lift a household out of poverty. The following table
estimates gross incomes from producing corn in selected major producing
states and includes subsidy payments under PROCAMPO. A doubling of corn
prices would still leave many corn producers in poverty. These
calculations assume that farmers actually market their corn crops.
According to data from the Secretariat of Agriculture, only 50-55
percent or Mexico's corn production is marketed. About 280,000 farmers
(15 percent of corn farmers) located principally in northern Mexico
produce this surplus. Small subsistence farmers grow the balance of
Mexico's corn and consume it on farm, primarily as human food (95
percent of Mexico's corn is white corn). Consequently, while some in
Mexico view managed trade or restrictions on imports as possible
solutions to rural poverty, it is unlikely that such an approach would
achieve more than putting a few extra pesos in larger farmers' pockets.
For many farmers, it seems that the route out of poverty will require
additional sources of income to either augment or replace their current
on-farm income.

# The Ejido Conundrum

While economic forces are reducing the number of farmers and
agricultural employment, one reason for the persistent number of small
farmers seems to be the ejido or communal land system. Communal land
systems were widely utilized by the Aztecs prior to the arrival of the
Spanish in Mexico. During the first part of the 20^th^ century, the
Government of Mexico set out to re-distribute the latifundios (large
land holdings) to the peasant class. Land and water resources were
granted by the Government of Mexico to a group of producers who in turn
formed an ejido or community. Each ejidatario (ejido member) received a
parcel of land, access to common lands in the ejido, and voting rights
in the ejido assembly.

During the presidency of President Salinas de Gortari (1988-1994),
Mexico underwent a number of reforms, including the joining of the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the signing of the NAFTA
agreement and, in 1992, the reforming of Article 27 of the Constitution.
The modification of Article 27 created a legal process called PROCEDE
whereby titles were assigned to plot holders and individual plot
holders, if authorized by the ejido assembly, could sell or rent their
land. The reform was very controversial when enacted, as many thought it
would end the ejido system. However, it has taken PROCEDE years to
identify and settle disputes over plot boundaries. Thus far, 55 percent
of ejido lands have been identified and titled under PROCEDE. Legal
disputes or unwillingness on the part of ejidos to participate in
PROCEDE are key reasons for the lack of progress in titling ejido lands.
Less than one percent of lands have been sold, principally in areas with
high real estate values. However, anecdotal evidence suggests that
renting of ejido lands to a larger producer or neighbor is much more
common. The Secretariat of Agrarian Reform has 17,000 requests for
titling ejido land holdings pending and that number is growing at 30
percent annually.

Ejidos play a very important cultural and communal role in rural Mexico.
Ejido members seem to view the lands as an important part of their
ancestral identity that should be cared for and protected for future
generations. There are 29,942 ejidos covering 52 percent of Mexico's
territory and 70 percent of forested area. Given that only 12 percent of
Mexico's territory is arable, the vast majority of ejido lands are not
agriculturally productive. Some have turned to activities such as
tourism as a means of earning income. 3.5 million people are ejido
landholders and in 2003 about 1.3 million (just under half of all
farmers) were classified as farmers, down from 1.8 million in 1999. 60
percent of ejido plots are five hectares or less. Of those working in
agriculture on ejidos, only five percent have incomes above the minimum
wage according to the Secretariat of Agrarian Reform. Only 46 percent of
ejido homes have piped water, 16.5 percent are connected to sewers, and
66 percent have electricity. Some ejidos have successfully eliminated
plot boundaries to create greater economies of scale, but these are the
exception rather than the rule. There are an additional 8.6 million
people living in ejidos who do not have access to land. It's estimated
that for every landholder, there are six ejido members working at
something other than agriculture, further evidence of the importance of
alternative income sources in rural areas.

# Poverty Rates Drop Modestly, Rural Population Increases Slightly

An estimated 25.3 million people lived in rural areas (defined as towns
of 2,500 or less) in 2005, up slightly from 24.1 million in 1991 (see
Table 10). In 2004, it was estimated that 27.6 percent (6.9 million
people) of Mexico's rural residents were unable to meet their basic
nutritional needs, 35.7 percent (9.0 million people) were unable to
cover basic necessities such as nutrition, education and health care,
and 56.9 percent (14.4 million people) were unable to meet nutritional,
educational, transport, clothing, and housing needs (see table below).
Poverty rates in rural areas worsened considerably following the
financial crisis of the mid-1990s, but improved between 1996 and 2004
and are now below pre-NAFTA levels. Nationally, poverty rates have also
dropped from pre-NAFTA levels and are much lower than during the years
following the financial crisis of the mid-1990s (see table below).
Nevertheless, nearly 40 percent or 40 million Mexicans lived in poverty
in 2002. As might be expected, poverty rates in urban areas are lower
than in rural areas.

Given the high rates of poverty, the drop in the number of farmers, and
the high level of migration to the United States and urban areas in
Mexico from rural areas, it is perhaps surprising that the number of
rural inhabitants increased between 1991 and 2005. A number of factors
appear to have stemmed the flow of people out of rural areas and/or
lessened the burden of poverty.

Cultural Significance of Ejido System: As mentioned in the section
above, ejidos play a very important cultural and communal role in rural
Mexico and many ejido members seem to view the lands as an important
part of their ancestral identity that should be cared for and protected
for future generations. This cultural significance and the strong ties
that many ejido members and landholders feel to their communities and
lands may lead them to stay on the land rather than pursue alternative
economic activities.

Government subsidies and programs: The Secretariat of Agriculture has a
number of programs aimed at facilitating agricultural development and
providing additional income to farmers. The three principal programs are
PROCAMPO, "Alliance With You" and "Marketing Supports." In 2004,
spending under these programs was approximately USD \$2.4 billion.
During the 2005/06 fall/winter growing season, PROCAMPO provided farmers
who were registered in the program and grew any legal crop on eligible
area (defined as area planted to corn, sorghum, beans, wheat, barley,
cotton, safflower, soybeans, or rice from 1990-1993) with payments of
USD \$88.35 per hectare. Farmers with farms of one to five hectares
received slightly larger payments. "Alliance With You" provides farmers
with technical assistance, project grants, and other funding to improve
food safety, develop supply chains, and support mechanization.
"Marketing Supports for Commercialization" facilitates the movement of
goods within Mexico from surplus to deficit areas or areas where
processing facilities are located by offsetting transportation costs. A
fourth program, "Objective Income" started in 2002 and takes into
account market prices and PROCAMPO payments in an effort to ensure that
farmers earn a target price for certain crops. During 2003 and 2004,
market prices were such that payments under the program were very
limited. Except for PROCAMPO, most of the resources under these programs
are targeted at farmers who market their crops, rather than subsistence
farmers.

In addition to the Secretariat of Agriculture, rural development
activities are spread across a number of other secretariats within the
Government of Mexico. The following are examples of programs that are
currently in place, but is not an exhaustive list of rural development
programs. The Secretariat of Agrarian Reform administers the "Dynamic
Rural Youth Program" which facilitates the buying or leasing of land by
young people and provides technical training to improve productivity.
The program also helps older producers with the requirements for
transferring land to younger producers. Agrarian reform also operates
programs aimed at integrating women into production agriculture. The
Secretariat of Environment has a program designed to help rural
communities to promote activities such as eco-tourism and sustainable
development of natural resources. The Secretariat of Social Development
(SEDESOL) has programs such as the "Temporary Employment Program" which
provides job opportunities to the unemployed and underemployed. Other
SEDESOL programs include supporting women's groups that facilitate
employment and infrastructure improvements in rural communities and
providing training, loans, and expertise to rural communities. The
Secretariat of Economy has programs aimed at improving competitiveness
in a number of sectors. While not specifically focused on rural areas,
these programs can benefit employment and investment in rural areas.

Off-farm Income: While data are limited, off-farm income appears to be
playing an increasingly important role in rural areas. The fact that for
every ejido landholder there are six ejido members who are working in
something other than agriculture indicates that many rural residents are
dependent on other sources of income. A 1995 University of California at
Berkeley study indicated that farmers with less than five hectares
earned over half of their income from non-agricultural sources (see
MX3055). Anecdotal evidence also suggests that large numbers of small
farmers are working off-farm.

In a recent survey of PROCAMPO participants conducted by Grupo de
Economistas y Asociados (GEA), 25.9 percent of those surveyed indicated
that they derived income from other activities and worked an average of
35 weeks per year for 30 hours per week -- 17 percent as an independent
businessperson, 16 percent as a day laborer, 14 percent in construction,
13 percent in fishing, and 12 percent as an employee of some kind. In
addition, 27.5 percent of those surveyed said they received income from
other non-work sources -- 14 percent said remittances, 9 percent said
other family members, and 4 percent said pensions.

Remittances: Mexicans living abroad, principally in the United States,
sent home a record USD \$20 billion in remittances during 2005 (USD
\$200 for every Mexican living in Mexico, see Table 15). It's estimated
that about half of the Mexican migrants who go to the United States
originate in rural areas and that rural areas receive a disproportionate
share of remittances. Per capita remittance levels vary widely by state,
ranging from a low of \$48 in Yucatan to \$651 in Michoacan. Remittance
levels now exceed foreign direct investment (see table below). There are
a number of public and private programs in place to try and leverage
these funds to encourage investment and capital improvements in rural
areas. However, a 2004 study conducted on behalf of the Mexican Congress
indicated that 79 percent of remittance money is spent on basic
necessities, eight percent goes to savings, seven percent to education,
and one percent to investment.

**Shifting Demographics:** Demographic and social factors may also have
played a role in stabilizing Mexico's rural population. Most observers
of conditions in rural areas seem to agree that migration to the United
States and urban areas in Mexico, principally of working age men, has
made rural communities older and more feminine. These populations may be
more prone to stay in rural areas, especially if a family member is
working elsewhere and sending money home. The Secretariat of Agrarian
Reform recently referred to the "feminization" of ejidos where there are
now nearly 500,000 women (15 percent of the total) who hold title to
some form of ejido lands. Similarly, over half of ejido landholders are
over 50 years of age and 10 percent are over 65.

Lack of Education: Lack of education and training could well be another
factor that limits people's mobility and contributes to poverty levels
in rural areas. While Mexico made great strides in raising education
levels between 1960 and 2000, in 2000, only about half of Mexicans 15
and over had educations beyond elementary school. Similarly, the recent
survey of PROCAMPO participants conducted on behalf of the Secretariat
of Agriculture points to relatively low levels of education among those
surveyed (see table below).

# Conclusion 

Mexico appears to be increasingly becoming a country with two very
different agricultural sectors; a modern growing sector capable of
meeting the demands of foreign markets and Mexico's rapidly growing
supermarket sector, and an impoverished largely subsistence sector
dependent on other sources of income for survival. This bifurcation is
not a new development; Mexico has grappled with rural poverty and
limited opportunities for small-scale farmers for decades. However,
Mexico's integration with global markets, while strengthening part of
the sector and leading to greater efficiencies, is also freeing up large
amounts of labor previously dedicated to agricultural production.

The next few years will likely tell whether agricultural employment and
farmer numbers will continue to decline or if factors such as
remittances and agricultural subsidies will stay the decline. All
indications are that there are still significant numbers of people who
could leave the agricultural sector if conditions do not improve. Policy
makers now face the challenge of seeing rural development through the
prism of economic development rather than linking rural development to
agricultural development. Without diversification of rural economies and
job creation in regional cities, opportunities in Mexico for small-scale
subsistence farmers and their progeny to improve their quality of life
appear to be limited.
