# Mexico's farm sector faces worst crisis in 40 years, GCMA says

> Juan Carlos Anaya of GCMA said Mexico's agricultural sector contracted 0.4% in the third quarter, with an 11% drop in harvests of key grains. He blamed reduced bank financing and the end of insurance programs, and noted Sinaloa's corn area fell from 500,000 to 330,000 hectares.
