Abstract
During the post-1979 decade, growth strategy was based on a model of state-centred accumulation. State farms, parastatal agro-industrial complexes and the incipient co-operative sector (mainly the CAS which became important after 1982) were seen as the dynamic sectors of economic development. Agro-industry, in particular, was seen by the Sandinista leadership as the ‘principal axes of economic growth’ Slutzky (1987: 16).
