Paraguay: ASTI–IPTA Ficha Técnica -Indicadores de I+D Agropecuario

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

El gasto en I+D agropecuario nacional se duplicó durante el período 2006–2013. Sin embargo, el país aún ostenta uno de los más bajos ratios de intensidad de I+D agropecuaria en la región. Paraguay depende en gran medida de tecnologías desarrolladas en el extranjero, principalmente en Brasil y Argentina.

El número total de investigadores agropecuarios casi se duplicó entre 2006 y 2013 como resultado de la creación de IPTA en 2010 y una mayor participación del sector de la educación superior en I+D agropecuario.

In 2006, Paraguay employed just 128 fte researchers and spent $13 million (in 2005 PPP prices) on agricultural research. The country compares very unfavorably to its MERCOSUR neighbors when it comes to agricultural research capacity and investments. Paraguay has experienced a steady decline in agricultural researcher totals since the early 1990s; it has one of the lowest shares of agricultural R&D staff with PhD degrees in the world; and its agricultural R&D investments as a share of agricultural GDP are five to seven times lower than those in neighboring Argentina and Brazil.
