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.
