Resumen
Descripción
The report reviews basic growth, as
being one of four pillars for Nicaragua's poverty
reduction strategy. The well-being of the rural poor will
continue its dependence on - to a great extent -
agriculture. The study analyzes main agricultural
development aspects, and stipulates the broad basic growth
may be enhanced by strengthening agricultural
competitiveness. Yet, export growth is key to economic
growth, and requires immediate actions within coherent
strategies, illustrated through the case of coffee within
the proposed strategy. The report also identifies market
forces regarding productivity restrictions of the rural
sector, and suggests medium- and long-term solutions.
Finally, the report addresses risk management, including a
description of some promising, pilot projects.
