In dairy products, input and labor costs decreased (with methodological caution). US$ 33,854 (inputs) and US$ 11,507 (labor).
En lácteos bajaron costos de insumos y mano de obra (con cautela metodológica). US$ 33.854 (insumos) y US$ 11.507 (mano de obra).
0.293 is the increase in technological adoption (citrus), which is highly significant.
0,293 es el aumento en adopción tecnológica (cítricos), altamente significativo.
Smart subsidies combine co-financing and technical assistance. PRODAF’s smart subsidies combined non-reimbursable contributions with technical assistance to foster efficient and environmentally sustainable technology adoption.
Los subsidios inteligentes de PRODAF se implementaron como aportes no reembolsables acompañados por asistencia técnica para promover adopción tecnológica eficiente y ambientalmente sostenible.
The program defined specific technological menus for cotton, livestock, dairy and citrus, aligned with gaps and good practices.
El programa definió menús tecnológicos específicos para algodón, ganadería, lácteos y cítricos, alineados a brechas y buenas prácticas.
Citrus productivity gains arise from systemic changes (e.g., irrigation, GAP) that materialize over time.
Inversiones como riego y buenas prácticas producen impactos que se materializan con el tiempo en cítricos.
NDVI-based remote sensing is a valuable, cost-effective proxy for yield to assess temporal dynamics of impacts.
El uso de NDVI como proxy de rendimiento es valioso y costo-efectivo para examinar la dinámica temporal de impactos.
0.006 was the average DID effect on mean NDVI for citrus, indicating productivity improvement.
0,006 fue el efecto promedio estimado por diferencias-en-diferencias en el NDVI promedio para la cadena de cítricos, evidenciando mejora en productividad.
56 % of beneficiaries reported adopting at least one new agricultural practice or technology after receiving the smart subsidy and technical assistance.
56 % de los beneficiarios reportaron haber incorporado al menos una nueva práctica o tecnología agrícola luego de recibir el subsidio inteligente y asistencia técnica.
The study presents a review of the use of remote sensors in agriculture, with an emphasis on their applications for banana cultivation (Musa AAA) in Costa Rica and other tropical regions. It evaluates three main areas: the delimitation of cultivated areas, the estimation of productivity, and the diagnosis of diseases. It analyzes the advantages of using satellite imagery, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and drones (UAVs) in agricultural monitoring, highlighting their accuracy (up to 95%) in identifying plantations and detecting diseases such as black Sigatoka and Fusarium wilt. The study demonstrates the potential of these technologies to improve agricultural planning, environmental management, and phytosanitary prevention.

The article analyzes crop association as an alternative for the development of sustainable agriculture in Latin America. Through a review of 88 studies, it shows that polyculture, agroforestry, and silvopastoral systems improve productivity, profitability, and climate resilience compared to monocultures. It highlights the benefits for soil fertility, biodiversity conservation, and climate change mitigation, proposing this practice as a comprehensive path toward agricultural and food sustainability in rural farming contexts.
