Mexico is widely believed to be an arid country, but this is not the case. It has a vast territory, where almost 12% is used for agriculture. This means 232,761 square kilometers (89,869 sq mi), which are almost the size of the whole United Kingdom, are used to grow food and cash crops.
Farmland quality varies depending on three factors: local topography, crop and economic development. There are large plantations and crops in the northern states of Mexico, such as the Guadalupe Valley in Baja California, one of the largest wine countries in Mexico. On the other hand, states such as Chiapas and Oaxaca have extensive mountain coffee plantations along the Sierra Madre mountain ranges.
As for development, there are large-scale commercial farms as well as traditional, peasant agriculture-driven ejidos(communal farms) in Mexico.
