Resumen
Descripción
Public research in developing countries in Asia continues to grow, but in many
countries the rate of change has slowed and it is lower than growth in agriculture.
In Asia, private sector research grew twice as fast as public research (see
Table 1). Using a new set of data on private research, this paper identifies the
policies that encouraged growth in private agricultural research in the developing
countries of Asia from 1985 to the late 1990s and suggests a few others
which might have helped. This can provide guidance to policy makers in other
developing countries who must develop agricultural science and technology
policies in the shadows of globalization and the emergence of 'Life Science'
corporations.
