Lands in the west of the country are also noticeably idle. León and Chinandega between them have 765,000 acres of grade-A agricultural land, among the best in Central America, but only about 200,000 are currently being cultivated.
La ociosidad de las tierras de Occidente es también notable. León y Chinandega disponen de 450 mil manzanas para la agricultura, tierras de calidad A, de las mejores de Centroamérica.
