Abstract: Using National Official Statistics Perez analyze Nicaragua’s rural sector structural blockades and the State strategies to overcome poverty and extreme poverty in the Country. Based on demography, land tenure and food markets governance, He identifies that key factors for changing Nicaragua’s poverty levels are missing in National Policies and there is a tendency to increase inequality in rural areas with no urban capacity for absorb rural migrants. Perez proposal is to focus public investment in Agriculture which is sector with higher labor occupation and a key source of exports and GDP.
