WHAT IS AN EJIDO?
As a means of providing land to the poor farmers of Mexico who were so poor they could not pay for land, communal groupings were created in the form of communal farms today known as "Ejidos". The "Ejidos" consist of a defined governing body, land parcels and members, thus creating an agrarian community or town. The land is divided into two sections, one being communal in nature which is held directly by all of the members in common, and where the community services and residences are situated, and the other section is made up of individual parcels, which are identified as being held individually by each member of the community which they use to farm. An ejido is a collective group of people that live and work on a determined piece of property as a community. Until ejido land is converted to private property, foreigners cannot acquire ownership of ejido land.
