The paper analyzes the primary, secondary and tertiary growth productivity trend in Nicaragua during the period studied. Either the catch-up and convergences issues or some possible divergences as study cases in agricultural productivity, industry and services are investigating think through global structure. The results are sharing with the IMAE (Economic Activity of Monthly Index) and the growth population rate for Nicaragua. The mean TFP was 5.5 percent where the primary sector shows a 4.4 percent by below secondary and tertiary sector 7.3 percent respectability. These changes were mainly caused by the technology change that reached a mean of 5.6 percent, while the technical efficiency change was indifferent for workers employed.
