description The analysis of growth accounting in agricultural sector during 1976–2013 shows a strong contribution of labor factor and TFP, but a low contribution of capital. The results of the cycle estimation using different methods of time series filtering indicate the existence of three complete cycles with duration of 16 quarters (4 years). The expansions remain for 29 quarters on average (9.6 years) and contractions 4 quarters (1 year), which implies that cycles in agricultural sector are asymmetric given the long duration of expansions compared to contractions. The co-movement analysis of the agricultural GDP cycle and each of its demand components shows that aggregate variables of agricultural activity behave procyclically. The strong covariance of GDP with apparent consumption and of coffee exports and trade balance is one of the best stylized facts that have characterized the economic fluctuations in the Colombian agricultural sector during this period.

El análisis de contabilidad de crecimiento en el sector entre el periodo 1976-2013 muestra una fuerte contribución del factor trabajo y del crecimiento de la PTF, pero una baja contribución del stock de capital. Los resultados de la estimación del ciclo a partir de diferentes métodos de filtrado de series de tiempo indican que se registran tres ciclos completos con una duración de 16 trimestres (4 años). Las fases de expansión duran, en promedio, 29 trimestres (9,6 años), y las de contracción, 4 trimestres (1 año), lo que implica que los ciclos en el sector agrícola son asimétricos, dada la mayor duración de las expansiones con relación a las contracciones. El análisis de comovimientos del ciclo del PIB y cada uno de sus componentes de demanda en el sector muestra que  las variables agregadas de la actividad agropecuaria se comportan de manera procíclica. La fuerte covarianza del PIB con el consumo aparente y de las exportaciones del café y la balanza comercial es uno de los mejores hechos estilizados que han caracterizado las fluctuaciones económicas en el sector agrícola durante el periodo de análisis.
