Spanish term or phrase: tenían un grado bajo de diversificación
El proceso de diversificación inicio con la capacitación, posteriormente la planificación y diseño de la parcela a diversificar en donde los productores en compañía del técnico agrónomo seleccionaron los rubros a establecer, posteriormente se dio seguimiento a cada unas de las actividades planificadas.

Estos productores tenían un grado bajo de diversificación debido al clima cálido de la zona y suelos poco fértiles, sin embargo ahora se han apropiado y puesto en práctica la iniciativa de la diversificación, hoy en día como producto de la diversificación han aumentado sus medios de vida, la producción diversificada y mejorado sus ingresos económicos.
