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 her low economic growth. In recent years the situation has changed with a strong economic acceleration that bear out a new concern: the quality and resilience of an economic growth without a durable impulse in agricultural or industrial or industrial production. We try to understand here the reasons for a long term agricultural stagnation that obstructs the balanced development of a regional economy linked to high unemployment rates and soaring emigration flows.
