Mexican farm reform conflicts and irrigation push amid scarce arable land
From 1971 to 1975 Mexico saw only 1.8 percent annual agricultural growth versus a required 4.8 percent to keep up with population, with land under cultivation rising 2.5 percent. Estates capped at 247 acres, most communes average 24.7 acres, and peasants clash with owners over redistribution. Desert terrain limits farming to 16 percent of 486 million acres, pushing some peasants to marijuana or opium as price controls depress corn profits amid drought and unrest.
