| Summary: | Reforestation activities in Mexico have not met with success that, given the large amount of efforts and resources spent, deserves. A fundamental problem is that the land has owners, whether private or public, and the plantations have not received the required follow-up. The success of current programs in the State of Veracruz is measured by the percentage of surviving plants in the field, instead of by the number of plants that come out of nurseries. The government of the State of Veracruz has established a program to support tree producers and economic participation by financial institutions is being sought. Financial information is presented (cost/hectare of tree plantations), as well as the two types of financial support available to producers according to their income levels. The feasibility of plantations and the required elements to create a forestry culture at the state level are throughly discussed.
