The period of this research is from 2000 - 2019 using the vector analysis method. We find that Ecuador has succeeded in successfully investing in education to improve agricultural performance. Even though employment in agriculture in Ecuador had shown the direction of increasing employment in agriculture every year until the end of our research period in 2019. This is a very good thing for Ecuador because the graph with an upward trend in the employment in agriculture graph, shows that agricultural performance in Ecuador has the potential to continue to grow.
