# 'Mexico is experiencing the worst crisis in the countryside in 40 years': GCMA

> GCMA director Juan Carlos Anaya said Mexico's primary sector faces an unfavourable environment, with lower harvests of wheat and white corn. Output of seven staple grains fell 11%, and the removal of contract farming and target-income schemes has hurt profitability. Food imports are accelerating to meet domestic demand.
