Abstract: The impact of price and credit policies on agricultural production in Costa Rica is examined. Declining relative prices and an overvalued exchange rate have contributed to the stagnation of farm production. Low interest loans have not promoted agricultural production but have rather reduced the flow of bank credit to agriculture.
