| Abstract: | Company of Popular Subsistence (CONASUPO) focuses on the seven most important and frequently imported crops in whose markets CONASUPO intervened: barley, beans, corn, rice, sorghum, soybeans and wheat. The article summarises the origins, traditional functions and early reforms of CONASUPO. The author also discusses trade and domestic reforms and the main transitional policies that accompanied actions to liquidate CONASUPO, and explores the effects that dismantling CONASUPO had on public support to farmers producing the main staples of Mexico. |
