In this paper I analyze the effect of the state-intervention and autarchic economic policy on agriculture in Murcia. I find that the effects were very different depending on the kind of crop existing in a zone: while traditional agriculture regression process was interrupted, modern agriculture expansion rythm became lower. I conclude that the autharchy period can be considered as an interruption of the specialization and modernization Process that had started the previous century, happening in a context of general agriculture slump, with crop surface, consum and returns decreasing at die same time.
