  abstract = {The persistence of rural poverty in Guatemala since the early 1990s challenges the purported association between agricultural export growth and poverty alleviation. Lack of access to education, health and credit, and the historical legacies of land inequality, labour exploitation and ethnic discrimination, are preventing growth from reaching the rural poor. Most analyses, including the World Bank’s recent ‘Poverty in Guatemala’ (2003) report, fail to consider how the economic and political power of the country’s economic elite perpetuate and exacerbate poverty. A focus on two of Guatemala’s most dynamic agroexport sectors – sugar and snow peas (mange-tout) – which are both reputed to have had a significant impact on poverty alleviation, reveals the limits on pro-poor growth.}
