Chile, unlike most Latin American countries, has a predominantly industrial economy. Only 25 percent of the population lives in the countryside. Only 8 percent of the Gross National Product is generated in rural areas. Such statistics would lead one to think that the agrarian reform carried out under the Allende government would have played an important but decidedly secondary role in the struggle for power in Chile. However, the agrarian reform was of unexpected importance for two reasons. First, food shortages and their role in the political struggle made the question of agricultural production crucial. Second, as the battle between the UP and the opposition sharpened, both groups desperately attempted to win the support of uncommitted sectors of the populaion. One of these uncommitted sectors was the peasantry, which was largely unorganized until the late 1960's
