You may refer to either the Baja California or the Yucatan peninsula. Neither has the appropriate conditions for agriculture:
Baja California is quite arid, considered to be part of the Sonoran desert. Some valleys within the peninsula have a Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csb climate classification), allowing wine growing and viticulture, but the peninsula is not as productive as other regions within Mexico.
On the other hand, the Yucatan peninsula has plenty of rainfall, but has very poor soils as the whole peninsula is a large landmass composed of limestone with a very thin topsoil. The largest "plantations" in the peninsula correspond to henequen, some tropical fruit and sugar.

The Yucatan Peninsula, located on southeastern Mexico, is a triangular peninsula that separates the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea. With a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw), it is mostly a flat land composed of limestone. Due to this nature, there are almost no surface rivers in the peninsula and most water comes from holes in the ground known as cenotes. It is a place known for being home of the ancient Mayan civilization, with beautifull remains of cities such as Chichen Itza and Tulum; however many of these ruins are covered by the thick vegetation that characterizes the region. It is also believed that the Chicxulub crater, covering almost half of the peninsula, is the site of the crater impact that killed the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago. There are three federal states on this peninsula: Campeche (capital: Campeche), Yucatan (capital Merida) and Quintana Roo (capital Chetumal). Some of the most important cities include Campeche (791,322), Merida (734,153) and Cancun (526,701).
