Abstract: [EN] There is no clarity about the impact on the productivity of various agricultural crops with Agroforestry Systems (SAF). The study aimed to quantify the change in the productivity of coffee and cocoa crops on farms with and without agroforestry systems in the Peruvian Amazon. To do this, we use the propensity score matching methodology. The results show an increase in productivity for crops with cocoa, but a decrease in crops with coffee. We conclude that it is worth generating information and studies to propose SAF compatible with improvements in productivity through joint actions between actors. [ES] No existe claridad sobre el impacto en la productividad de diversos cultivos agrícolas con Sistemas Agroforestales (SAF). El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo cuantificar el cambio en la productividad de los cultivos café y cacao en fincas con y sin SAF en la Amazonia Peruana. Para ello, empleamos la metodología del emparejamiento de puntaje de propensión. Los resultados muestran un incremento de la productividad para cultivos con cacao, pero una disminución en cultivos con café. Concluimos que amerita generar información y estudios para proponer SAF compatibles con mejoras en productividad a través de acciones conjuntas entre actores.
