The ejido system was meant to redistribute parcels of land to previous laborers who worked them for little or no remuneration. These lands were owned by caciques who greatly benefited at the expense of their workers, using a kind of feudal system.

After the Mexican Revolution (1910 - 1921) most lands were expropriated and redistributed as a form of communal land. This process however, failed to take into account that by redistributing these lands to poor, ignorant people, who had no capital or knowledge to use machinery or fertilizers, their use reverted to that of subsistence farming, decreasing productivity and failing to improve the lives of these farmers.
