Back to:
Since the end of civil war in 2003, lack of funding has hampered the rebuilding of research capacity and infrastructure at Liberia’s main agricultural research agency, CARI, and two higher agricultural education agencies. Despite the country’s need for agricultural development, its investment in agricultural research as a share of AgGDP (that is, its research intensity ratio) was only 0.42 in 2011.
