Declining spending

Agricultural research spending in Cabo Verde declined between 2012 and 2014 due to government budget cuts and the completion of a large research project cofinanced by the European Union. Although the country’s agricultural research spending as a share of AgGDP (at 0.95 percent in 2014) is well above the African average, considerable investment is needed for capacity building and laboratory equipment.

INIDA is the only agency involved in agricultural R&D in Cabo Verde. Despite an increase in the number of MSc-qualified researchers in recent years, the institute lacks a critical mass of PhD-qualified researchers.

Agricultural R&D spending increased gradually between 2009 and 2011. Although Cabo Verde’s 2011 agricultural R&D intensity ratio (at 1.12 percent) was well above the African average—which is not uncommon for a small, arid country—more investment is needed, particularly in staff training and upgrades to research laboratories.
