The goal of this paper was to carry Out a descriptive and explicative of the number of scientific papers published by the countries of Latin America and Caribbean indexed in Scopus within the areas Agriculture, and Biological Sciences, and Veterinary during the period 1996-2016. The countries with more articles published were Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Chile, although Uruguay was the county with more articles published per million of habitants. A positive relationship was found between the number of articles published per million of habitants and the per capita income, the percentage of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) devoted to research and development (R+D), and the number of researcher per million of habitants. Moreover, the countries with higher percentage of rural population in which the agriculture contribute more to the GDP had less articles, probably because both variables are negative associated with the GOP Therefore, we concluded that the countries with better economic resources published more articles in this field, and not those in which the farming activities are more important.
