Mexico Agriculture

In 1999 agriculture in Mexico employed 23% of Mexicos labor force but only accounted for only 5% of Mexicos GDP.  Crop production continues to be the most important agricultural acticvity in Mexico.  The crops that they grow the most of are wheat, beans, corn, and sorghum.  The most important crop for consumtion purposes are sugar, coffie, fruits, and vegtables.  Mexico continues to be one of the top producers in the world.  Mexicos exports to the united states for fruits and vegtables in 1998 generated revenues for 2.87 billion dollars.  In comparison to its crop production, livestock amounts for 30% of Mexicos agricltural output.  The reason that they have so much revenue off of crops is because there is so much land to plant and harvest.


I never knew that mexicos agriculture was so big.  These stats were from in 1999 so im sure that numbers have gone up alot more.  i also never knew that they grew kind of the same stuff that the united states grow.  I thought that mexico was mostly plants i didnt know that they have alot of livestock either.I think it would be cool to go visit a farm in mexico to see if it is like any of our farms around here.

Mexico City

Mexico City is the Federal District, capital of mexico, and seat of the federal powers of the mexican union. Mexico city is one of the most important financial centers in North America.

There are many diffrent things to do in mexico like staying at resorts, going to the beaches, and exploring the country.  Mexico city has over 160 muesums and 30 concert halls, and hundreds of art galleries.

Mexico city sounds like a pretty cool place to visit i never knew that mexico city was that big.  It would be cool to go the beaches and all the stuff they have to do there.  Im not a big muesum person but maybe that would be cool to go visit.  It would be nice to go there when it is negatice thirty degrees in minnesota.  And it will be in the eighties there.
