In 2011, Guinea-Bissau spent just 0.02 percent of its agricultural GDP on agricultural research—by far the lowest level in Africa (and the rest of the developing world).
INPA is the nation’s only agricultural R&D agency. Funding for its R&D programs is entirely dependent upon donors and is extremely limited, volatile, and in some years nonexistent. As a result, many of INPA’s research programs are unfunded.
