| description | In 2016, Sri Lanka invested 0.62 percent of its AgGDP in agricultural research, representing an increase since 2010. Nevertheless, levels remained below those needed to address the country’s numerous productivity-related challenges. Long-term recruitment restrictions have prevented government agricultural research agencies from expanding their pools of researchers over time. Sri Lanka stands out from most low- and middle-income countries globally in that the majority of its agricultural researchers are female. Comparatively few women hold managerial positions, however. |
