摘要

This paper investigates to what extent the public policy and investment environments across the African continent are enabling the research, development and dissemination of agbiotech and GM crops. Using data from two surveys on agricultural research, this article examines the scope, magnitude and effectiveness of agbiotech and GM crop research in Africa. The findings indicatethat while a growing number of countries in Africa are investing in agricultural biotechnology and genetically modified crop research, their policy and investment environments may significantly inhibit the diffusion of these new technological opportunities. Findings suggest that valuable private sector resources are not being brought to bear on research and development in the region, thus slowing the pace of innovation. For such research to benefit Africa, greater efforts are needed to enhance the international exchange of information on environmental safety and to overcome institutional barriers to public-private research collaboration. Such efforts would significantly improve the effectiveness of public sector research on agbiotech in African countries by promoting a more entrepreneurial culture of innovation and by making research institutions more responsive to emerging needs and opportunities.
