The performance of Nicaraguan agriculture has deteriorated over the last decade: cotton production has fallen from 8 million to 2 million quintals; the cattle herd has been reduced from 3 million to 1 million; and coffee and irrigated rice production have declined to 700,000 quintals each from respective peaks of 1.2 and 1.8 million. The present report assesses the potential of the country's private sector for reversing this stagnant performance. Stress is laid on the potential role of the commodity associations affiliated with the Agricultural Producers Union of Nicaragua (UPANIC) -- especially the associations for coffee, rice, livestock, and dairy production -- by reason of their cohesiveness, strong leadership, good representation, and experience in providing self-sustaining services. Three traditional farm service cooperatives -- Esquipulas, the Santa Ana Cooperative, and CORCO -- are also evaluated. Areas of potential assistance coalesce with key sector constraints: (1) uncertainty regarding the new government's plan to transfer ownership of lands confiscated by the Sandinistas and privatize agricultural parastatals; (2) the private sector's lack of access to technology
