The diagnosis of the land tenure structure in the Orinoquía reveals a direct relationship with its inequality: few owners with large tracts of land and many with small plots.

The predominant economic activities in these plots lean towards the agricultural sector, particularly extensive livestock farming.

The main causes of this problem are: the availability of technology, prices and the market, credit conditions, among others; placing special emphasis on the accelerated growth of production costs and strong increases in support prices.
