The present study focused on measuring the impact of the technologies implemented to the production of basic grains in Nicaragua to improve the total productivity of the factors (PTF), considering the climate variability. The database of the FAO for the items: Rice, corn and beans. The methodology of the indices of
Malmquist, which measures the total productivity of the factors and explains the causes of these in bases to Technology and Technical Efficiency. This in turn is explained by the Efficiency to scale and pure efficiency. The results show a behavior
non-uniform indicator of the PTF indicator for each of the items studied (rice, beans and corn) during the period 1961 - 2013. In addition, it is observed that the evolution of The indicators obtained are explained from the indicators of technological change
(seed) with little incidence of the technical efficiency indicator in such behavior.
The bean crop was the item that showed the greatest evolution in its PTF indicator
with 12%, followed by the cultivation of rice with 11% and the cultivation of corn with 5%.
