Agriculture in Mexico : ウィキペディア英語版 | Agriculture in Mexico
Agriculture in Mexico has been an important sector of the country’s economy historically and politically even though now it accounts for a very small percentage of Mexico’s GDP. Mexico is one of the cradles of human agriculture with the Mesoamericans developing domesticated plants such as maize, beans, chili peppers, tomatoes, squash, avocados, cacao various kinds of spices and more. Turkeys were the only domesticated fowl in the prehispanic period and small dogs were raised for food. There were no large domesticated animals. During the early colonial period, the Spanish introduced more plants and the concept of domesticated animals, principally cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, goats and sheep, and barn yard animals such as chickens and pigs. Farming from the colonial period until the Mexican Revolution was focused on large private properties. After the Revolution these were broken up and the land redistributed. Since the latter 20th century NAFTA and economic policies have again favored large scale commercial agricultural holdings. Mexico’s main crops include grains such as corn and wheat, tropical fruits and various vegetables. Agricultural exports are important, especially coffee, tropical fruits and winter fruits and vegetables. Sixty percent of Mexico’s agricultural exports go to the United States. ==History of agriculture in Mexico==
