Encyclopedia > Decree 90

Decree 90 was a Guatemalan land reform law ordered in 1952 by President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán. This decree redistributed unused lands of sizes greater than 223 acres (0.902 km˛) to local peasants. This was aimed particularly at the United Fruit Company, which was accused of holding excessive amounts of arable land which was not being used. The owners whose lands were expropriated were recompensated through government bonds.
