Agriculture and forestry research strategy to cope climate risk

Smallholder-based production with low productivity; minimal farmer experience with modern agriculture technologies and marketing, Post-harvest loss still high and lack of value-addition, High international marketing competiveness (i.e. need quality and standard products), Low labor availability and productivity, Emerging impact of climate change (flood, drought, break out of crop and animal diseases, soil erosion and nutrient degradation), Degraded and loss of agro-biodiversity, and natural resources. Deficient financial support, facilities and Capacities for R&D.
