Output growth in the agricultural sector is largely attributable to increases in capital, particularly in the 1990s. The index of TFP reached it peak in 1991, and employment has declined since 1990. Gains in educational attainment were largely nonexistence until the mid- 1990s. The sector also appears to have been largely unaffected by the 1997-98 crisis. It must be borne in mind, however, that the estimates of the factor shares and thus the relative importance of capital and labor are highly uncertain. A growth accounting exercise has limited value for the agricultural sector without a stronger basis for the estimate of the factor shares.
