Dissolution of SAIS and CAP
In 1985, most of the SAIS and CAP were dissolved into small parcels, after a period of economic and administrative crisis. The Shining Path took advantage of this process to expand its organization in the region.
In 1985, most of the Agricultural Societies of Social Interest (SAIS) and Agricultural Production Cooperatives (CAP) in small plots were dissolved. This process occurred after a period of economic and administrative crisis of these associative enterprises created during the Agrarian Reform. The dissolution of these business structures was used by the PCP-Sendero Luminoso to build its organization in the region, using the conflicts generated by the land tenure system. The business model imposed had generated decapitalization and mismanagement of the companies, serving as a central argument for the proposals of the PCP-SL, which since 1982 advocated their liquidation.
