Costa Rica’s policies to support agricultural producers averaged 5.8% of gross farm receipts (%PSE) in 2017-19, lower than the OECD average. This support is almost entirely (92%) based on Market Price Support (MPS) – one of the most trade and...
Costa Rica’s support to farmers was 8% of gross farm receipts (%PSE) in 2015-17. While this is less than a half of the OECD average, the support is almost entirely (96%) based on Market Price Support (MPS), one of the most production and trade distorting forms of support.
Costa Rica’s strong agricultural sector is underpinned by the country’s political stability, robust economic growth and high levels of human development. The sector has achieved significant export success, yet raising productivity and staying competitive in world markets will require efforts to ...

According to the land cover changes and landscape ecology indicators we have obtained through GIS from the new digital maps provided by the REDD + (Fernández-Landa et al. 2016), in Costa Rica, the land-matrix remained dominated by tropical forestlands, which during the years 1986–2014 covered 58–60% of the territory. Together with grasslands and pá...
Finally, we calculated the evolution of the physical trade balance of Costa Rica from 1961 to 2016 in order to relate our evaluation of these landscape changes assessed by means of landscape ecology indicators with the main driver of the unsustainable development path of Costa Rica put on the forefront by Hall et al. (2000) 20 years ago, namely, th...
Our maps, landscape ecology indicators, and statistical results clearly confirm two main facts. On the one hand, the forest transition started in the turn to the twenty-first century as well as the role these growing tropical forests play to maintain species richness—here evaluated using plants and birds in the INBio dataset as proxy—in a Central A...

In 2019, economic growth in Costa Rica slowed to 2.1% (compared to 2.7% in 2018). This was a result of slacker growth in the world economy and global trade, a decline in international prices of the country’s key agricultural products, climate shocks that hit agricultural output, and low confidence among consumers and investors.
