Who owns most of the farmland Central American countries?

Most of the farmland in Central American countries is owned by a small percentage of the population, leading to significant inequality in land distribution. Large landowners, often referred to as terratenientes or latifundistas, tend to concentrate substantial amounts of land in their hands, while many rural communities and small-scale farmers have limited or no access to land. This skewed land ownership pattern has its roots in historical factors, such as colonial land grants and the concentration of land in the hands of wealthy elites. It also perpetuates social and economic disparities, leaving many rural populations vulnerable and marginalized. Efforts to address land inequality and promote more equitable land distribution have been challenging due to political and economic barriers.
