In the international economic debate, the southern Indian state of Kerala has been considered during the last three decades as a "model" of relative social well-being despite its low economic growth. In recent years, the situation has changed with a strong economic acceleration that bears out a new concern: The quality and resilience of economic growth that has not boosted agriculture or industrial production. We try to understand here the reasons for long term agricultural stagnation that obstructs the balanced development of a regional economy linked to high unemployment rates and soaring emigration flows.
