Research Focus
NARO’s research agenda is guided by 10-year strategic plans that spell out research priorities over the period. The last strategic plan cycle, which stretched from 2008/09 to 2017/18, focused on the improvement of agricultural production and productivity.
The current strategic plan themed: “Market-Oriented Research Spurring Agro-Industrialization”, started in 2018/19 and will end in 2027/28.
To ensure inclusivity, a broad-based team comprising different stakeholders including the private sector, universities, MAAIF, NARO Secretariat and PARIs developed this strategic plan through a countrywide consultative process.
