| Summary: | The Nicaraguan agricultural and
livestock sector experienced wide policy shifts over the
last two decades. State intervention during the Sandinista
period (1979--1990) was reversed by subsequent governments
that drastically reduced credit, curtailed government
technical assistance services, and liberalized foreign and
domestic input and output markets. However, government
withdrawal was not accompanied by promotion of institutions
to facilitate competition in input and output markets,
and/or provision of credit and technical assistance. |
