a day like today 41 years ago, the government of General Velasco reform law enacted Agricultural and simultaneously held the large agroindustrial complexes of sugar called 'sugar barons'.
the next six years, all farms were expropriated in the country. Their lands were allotted to agricultural production cooperatives (about 2.3 million hectares), Agricultural Societies of Social Interest (SAIS, 2.9 million) and rural communities and other organizations (3.5 million). 375 000 families benefited. Regionally, were expropriated and awarded 53% of the land for agricultural use of the coast and 23% of the saw.
SAIS Cooperatives and did not withstand the test of time: the first were divided by the workers in family plots, and the lands of the latter were, without exception, distributed among farming communities.
From the point of view of production, land reform was not successful. But to redistribute land, improved incomes of hundreds of thousands of families. From the standpoint of social and political development was very important: it ended the gamonalismo and servile relations, rural society democratized and allowed the conversion of peasants into citizens.
The counter-agrarian reform, which began tentatively in the eighties was accelerated in early 1990. The Constitution of 1993 removed restrictions property and reduced agricultural land protection community. Many subsequent laws deepen the liberalization of land markets, family farms marginalize and further weaken the rules that protect community rights. The manifesto written by President Garcia, "The dog in the manger syndrome" in October 2007 in black and white got strong support from his government to the rebuilding of large estates, farmers and natives should not be the owners of their resources because, says the president not know and are poor, these resources should be transferred to large investors, who have the financial resources and technologies, and also will become your new patterns. Continues the orientation of the governments of Fujimori and Toledo to reconstitute large estates.
Forty-one years after the land reform is neolatifundistas higher than that existed before the reform.
The largest of the group Gloria, controls about 60 000 hectares on the coast of Ancash and La Libertad, the Romero group, about 20 thousand hectares in Piura, Huaral and San Martin, the group Dyer (Camposol) about 24 thousand hectares in several valleys of the coast, the Maple company, 12 thousand hectares in the valley of the Chira. There are dozens of which have more neolatifundios thousand hectares. And the nearly 150 000 hectares of new public lands to be won on the coast with new irrigation made also public money.
