Costa Rica has the largest and most advanced agricultural research system in Central America; government agencies predominate, supplemented by strong—and growing— higher education and nonprofit sectors.
Costa Rica invests more than its neighbors in the region, spending slightly more than 1 percent of its AgGDP on agricultural R&D (equal to 0.06 percent when compared to the country’s total GDP). However, spending levels fell during 2009–2012 and have most likely continued to fall since then.
