El Salvador S Agpapian Reform: An Introduction

Author

  • Strasma, John

Abstract

The 1980 agrarian reform affected all holdings over 500 hectares and many small tenant plots. Holdings between 100 and 500 ha. are in a legal limbo. Output is fairly stable, despite both reform and the guerilla war. About 30,000 farm families are in the coops that have taken over the large holdings, and 50,000 more have applied for title to land they once rented. The beneficiaries report their main problems as being marketing, and the timely arrival of credit and fertilizer. Some former owners have not yet been compensated, and reform beneficiaries and other farmers alike suffer from the guerilla war and poor world markets for exported coffee, sugar and cotton.
