The agrarian reform promised by Evo Morales – and approved in a referendum by nearly 80 per cent of the population – has never been implemented. Intended to abolish [[Latifundium|latifundism]] by reducing the maximum size of properties that do not have an "economic and social function" to 5,000 hectares, with the remainder to be distributed among small agricultural workers and landless indigenous people, it was strongly opposed by the Bolivian oligarchy. In 2009, the government gave in to the agribusiness sector, which in return committed to end the pressure it was exerting and jeopardizing until the new constitution was in place.<ref name="auto2">{{cite web |date=2 September 2019 |title=Mérites et limites d'une " révolution " pragmatique |url=https://www.ccef-bolivie.org/post/m%C3%A9rites-et-limites-d-une-r%C3%A9volution-pragmatique |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220629004315/https://www.ccef-bolivie.org/post/m%C3%A9rites-et-limites-d-une-r%C3%A9volution-pragmatique |archive-date=29 June 2022 |access-date=26 March 2022}}</ref>

However, a series of economic reforms and projects have improved the condition of modest peasant families. They received farm machinery, tractors, fertilizers, seeds and breeding stock, while the state built irrigation systems, roads and bridges to make it easier for them to sell their produce in the markets. The situation of many indigenous people and small farmers was regularized through the granting of land titles for the land they were using.<ref name="auto2"/>

In 2007, the government created a "Bank for Productive Development" through which small workers and agricultural producers can borrow easily, at low rates and with repayment terms adapted to agricultural cycles. As a result of improved banking supervision, borrowing rates have been reduced by a factor of three between 2014 and 2019 across all banking institutions for small and medium-sized agricultural producers. In addition, the law now requires banks to devote at least 60% of their resources to productive credits or to the construction of social housing.<ref name="auto2"/>

With the creation of the Food Production Support Enterprise (Emapa), the government sought to stabilize the domestic market for agricultural products by buying the best prices for the production of small and medium-sized farmers, thus forcing agribusinesses to offer them fairer remuneration. According to Vice President [[Álvaro García Linera|Àlvaro García Linera]], "by setting the rules of the game, the State establishes a new balance of power that gives more power to small producers. Wealth is better redistributed to balance the power of the agribusiness sector. This generates stability, which allows the economy to flourish and benefits everyone.<ref name="auto2"/>
