This positive trend is not however quite generalized, because the resulting economic benefits were not widespread perceived as by whole population.

This study reports the results of a search on agriculture of Michoacan, carried out with a "participatory approach", and analyze the effects perceived from smallholders and local institutional after the introduction of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
