Cuba: a small country, a large agricultural research potential
A brief overview of the development and performances of Cuban agriculture since 1959, allows us to understand the reasons, both economic and ideological, behind the surge forward in agricultural research from 1970. Today, Cuba, with her 2,500 scientists and an annual budget of 45 million pesos (or dollars), has one of the larger national systems of research in the Third World. Its brief existence and its excessively complex structure have had limited effectiveness, but Cuban Authorities are striving to rectify this through planning, coordination between institutions and formal links with production. The results achieved on the scientific and production levels are already significant. In the future, research, better structured, more experienced and more prospective, could play a major role in agricultural policy and become a driving element in Cuba's relations with the Third World
