Abstract: Abstract In this chapter attention will be paid to the supply side of the export economy and the way this was influenced by changes in policies and the external environment. The impact of three structural reforms and other sectoral policies on the behavior of the agro–Export producers will be the main subject treated. Even before the crisis of the 1980s, the postwar development of the Central American region was described as superimposed, externally determined, and of an exclusionary nature (ECLAC, 1986: 13-22). Another longer–term study pointed more explicitly to a probable breakdown of social and economic relations as a consequence of what was called oligarchic-based agricultural export growth (Bulmer–Thomas, 1983: 271).
