Book excerpt: Excerpt from Survey of Mexican Winter Vegetable Production There is plenty of land available to increase acreage in all of Mexico's vegetable-producing areas. There is an oversupply of labor, and wage scale is very low. While there is a shortage of financing in Mexico and particularly for long-term credit, there are plenty of United States firms willing to risk capital for production as long as there are hopes for making a profit. Production equipment and supplies are not a problem, as most are imported from the United States and supplies are adequate. It is the policy of the Mexican Government to discourage vegetables for export and to emphasize the expansion of sugarcane, wheat, cotton, rice, and livestock. The marketing service charges from harvest to delivery in a United States terminal market are high and offset the low production costs. The production hazards such as frosts, insects, and plant diseases, tend to keep the average yields per acre of exportable quality at low levels. Also, market prices in the United States and Canada are so low at times that a portion of the crop is abandoned.
