The creation of regional areas highly specialized in the production of a staple crop is an agricultural policy mechanism that facilitates the increase in production and productivity of land, by attracting greater quantities of sellers of agricultural inputs to the region, which causes obtaining inputs at wholesale prices, incorporation of technology by incorporating improved inputs and fertilizers, which should lead to the reduction of unit costs of the product, exchange of knowledge between producers about cultivating the agricultural product and greater management power to place the product they generate on the market. The procedure to be followed to generate a highly specialized region requires to be carried out in steps in time, in this case it is proposed to enhance production in the irrigation area of the region and then, a year or an agricultural cycle later, design measures to activate the rainfed producers in the same area, with the assurance that there will be previous results that help to polish the strategy of incorporation of the owners of rainfed lands, who, even from the activation stage of the irrigation areas, will have already had some benefits and incentives given by the greater presence of sale of inputs of lower prices as an effect of what was achieved in the first stage of the project with the producers who have irrigation for the crop.
