Agricultural and female empowerment in Morelos

Overview

In the Mexican state of Morelos, agricultural efforts are increasingly focused on the intersection of gender equality and the preservation of biodiversity. Reports from the Secretariat of Agricultural Development (Sedagro) indicate that women comprise 40 percent of the agricultural workforce, though they face structural inequalities such as wage gaps and limited land ownership. The state is recognized as a vital site for biodiversity, preserving 14 varieties of native corn, which accounts for approximately 23 percent of Mexico’s national diversity for the crop.

To address these issues, the Morelos government has initiated measures to promote economic growth and financial autonomy for women. Governor Margarita González Saravia has emphasized support for women entrepreneurs across strategic sectors, including industry, agriculture, science and technology, tourism, and cinematography. In the agricultural sector, the state has allocated seven million pesos to native maize cultivation to provide technical assistance, equipment, and agricultural health support.

Recent regional developments indicate continued focus on rural economic stability, with new reports noting ongoing agricultural support specifically for avocado and nopal producers within Morelos.
