The end of the agrarian reform process was accompanied by the modification of the land property system. The two variants that previously made up the social property regime —the ejido and the agrarian community— were converted into two new forms of land tenure, which are not akin to the genera to which they used to belong. As a result of the legal changes that have taken place after the 1992 land reform legislation, the ejido now consists in a modality of private ownership, while the agrarian community became a sui generis form of ownership all by itself. These changes of great importance, however, have not yet been reflected in scholarly, legislative, governmental, juridical, entrepreneurial (or corporate), peasant, and other media. In these media the prevailing idea is that the ejido and the agrarian community continue to maintain the distinctive features of social property.
