RESEARCH AND INNOVATION
In Rwanda, research in agriculture has been under invested with only
0.7% of public expenditure
versus a target of 7.1% during PSTA3. Furthermore,
research programs are not always responsive to
market needs (NAP, 2018).
Nevertheless, research and innovation is
required at central level of agriculture
transformation and modernization (MINAGRI
FYR 2019-2020). More than ever, factual and
reliable data is critical not only to policy makers
but also to farmers and investors who wants to
venture into agribusiness.
