The provincial agricultural extension system (PAESY) is characterized by increasing agricultural productivity in order to improve the quality of life of the agricultural producer, and since these expected results are not reflected in the communities of the province of Acobamba, Huancavelica region, Peru, the extension problem in the agricultural field was approached with the objective of analyzing the PAESY of this province, in order to formulate a proposal that links its components in order to improve the quality of the service. A situational analysis of external and internal factors was carried out through strategic planning, as well as the collection of primary information from farmers and professionals involved in agricultural activities; The main strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats were found to be the high availability of natural resources, the growing consumption of introduced products, the increase in organic product sales centers and the importation of foreign agricultural products, respectively. The conclusion was that the actors responsible for leading PAESY in Acobamba carry out extension activities based on institutional objectives, with a weak presence and poor results, so the magnitude of PAESY 's impact is insufficient to improve the province's production levels.
