dc.descriptionThis Research Reports surveyed agricultural R&D capacity in the Caribbean in order to gain better insight into its structure and development, as well as its potential contribution to the development of agriculture in the region. The main findings of the study are: (a) agricultural research capacity in the Caribbean is highly fragmented, (b) between 1986 and 1996, the growth in agricultural research capacity in the Caribbean almost halted in terms of the number of researchers, and contracted in terms of expenditures, (c) nevertheless, agricultural research investment levels relative to AgGDP are rather high for many of the smaller Caribbean countries, but not high enough to provide sufficient technology, and (d) commodity specialization and clustering of research activities across countries are some ways of creating enough volume of research benefits to pay for research costs.
