Page "Chaco Province" Paragraph 14

Chaco's economy, like most in the region, is relatively underdeveloped yet has recovered vigorously, since 2002.

Its economy was estimated to be US $ 4. 4 billion in 2006, or US $ 4, 470 per capita ( half the national average and the third-lowest in Argentina ).

Chaco's economy is diversified ; but, its agricultural sector has suffered from recurrent droughts over the past decade.
