Agricultural R&D Indicators Factsheet: Ecuador

The IDB has been financing the collection of data from Latin America and the Caribbean for several years for the Agricultural Science and Technology Indicators (ASTI) program. ASTI is an open-access and reliable source of data on agricultural research systems in developing countries, linked to the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and part of the CGIAR Program. ASTI works with a broad network of national partners to collect, compile, and publish data on human, financial, and institutional resources, at the national and regional levels, from government organizations, higher education institutions, non-profit entities, and (where possible) private for-profit agricultural research organizations.
