Despite the fact that Jordan’s agricultural R&D spending increased by nearly 40 percent during 2000– 2012, spending has not kept pace with rapid growth in agricultural GDP. As a result, the country’s agricultural research intensity ratio nearly halved during this period.

In 2007, Jordan’s main agricultural research agency at that time (NCARTT) was merged with the country’s agricultural extension department to form NCARE. The new center’s expanded mandate put a considerable strain on its scarce resources, including vehicles and equipment.

Maroc : ASTI–INRA Fiche d’information 2015

Submitted by astiadmin on

Ces dernières années ont vu une reprise de la capacité de recherche agricole marocaine qui, par suite des nombreux départs en préretraite volontaire subventionnés par l’État en 2005 et en 2009, avait souffert de lourdes pertes de chercheurs, de techniciens et d’autre personnel.

La R&D agricole marocaine est principalement financée par le gouvernement national. Les dépenses de R&D agricole sont restées relativement constantes au cours de la période 2009-2012.

Tunisie : ASTI–IRESA Fiche d’information

Submitted by astiadmin on

En Tunisie, l’augmentation de l’effectif des chercheurs agricoles au cours des dernières années s’explique principalement par la création de quatre centres de recherche régionaux sous l’égide de l’IRESA, entité cadre de la R&D agricole tunisienne, et par un recrutement massif de chercheurs licenciés au sein d’un de ces centres, l’IRA.

With more than 8,400 agricultural researchers in FTEs—most qualified to the PhD degree level—Egypt’s agricultural R&D system is among the world’s largest in terms of human resource capacity; of these researchers, three-quarters are employed at the country’s principal agricultural R&D agency, ARC.

Agricultural R&D spending grew by nearly a quarter during 2009–2012, mostly driven by higher salary- related expenses following large-scale staff recruitment by ARC.

Growing civil unrest caused agricultural R&D spending in Yemen (adjusted for inflation) to fall considerably during 2009–2012.

Turkey’s total number of agricul- tural researchers (in FTEs) grew considerably during 2009–2012. At GDAR agencies, this growth mostly represented increased numbers of MSc-qualified scien- tists, whereas at the universities the increase was predominantly in PhD-qualified scientists.

The 2011 restructuring of Turkey’s agricultural ministry led to a stronger government commit- ment to agricultural R&D, but the level of investment as a share of AgGDP remains relatively low, particularly compared with average shares of most European Union countries.

Based on increased government support, agricultural R&D spending rose by roughly one-third during 2007–2012. At 6.5 percent, Oman’s agricultural research intensity ratio (investment in agricultural research as a share of agricultural GDP) is among the highest in the world, but such high ratios are not uncommon in countries with small populations and relatively high per capita income.

Algérie: ASTI–INRAA Fiche d’information 2014

Submitted by astiadmin on

Même si les dépenses de l’Algérie en matière de R&D agronomique ont considérablement augmenté entre 2009 et 2012 (en relation avec l’augmentation rétroactive des salaires), les niveaux d’investissement restent encore en deçà des standards internationaux et sont faibles par rapport aux pays voisins.

L’État algérien reste la principale source de financement de la R&D agronomique. Les ressources générées par les donateurs, les prêts bancaires ou par la vente des biens et des services, sont forts limitées.

Although Algeria’s spending on agricultural R&D rose substantially between 2009 and 2012 (largely in response to retroactive salary increases), investment levels still fall short of international targets and are low relative to neighboring countries.

The Algerian government is the principal source of funding of agricultural R&D. Only minimal additional resources are generated from donors and development bank loans or through the sale of goods and services.
