National Agriculture and Resources Research

and Development Network (NARRDN)

(As of July 5, 2000)

A. NATIONAL MULTI-COMMODITY R AND D CENTERS (4)

conducts basic and applied researches on economically important commodities

implements R and D programs/projects across a broad range of disciplines and packages appropriate technologies for different commodities and/or dominant production systems after successful verification in regional R and D centers and cooperating stations

The national multi-commodity centers are based in academic institutions with broad base of basic disciplines needed in fundamental research and with a strong applied communication support. Their commodity responsibilities are indicated below:

B. NATIONAL SINGLE-COMMODITY R AND D CENTERS (8)

National Single Commodity R and D Centers are national centers with very specific commodity responsibility(ies) by virtue of laws and decrees that created them.

They conduct basic and applied R and D on their commodity responsibility.

The implement programs/projects across a broad range of disciplines and packages appropriate technologies and dominant production systems on their commodity responsibility after successful verification in regional R&D centers and cooperating stations.

C. REGIONAL R AND D CENTERS (21)

The regional R and D Centers conduct applied research for commodities of major importance in the regions where the centers are located.

These centers verify research results from the national R&D centers which show potential for application in specific locations, and fine-tune component and packages of technology conceptualized in the national R and D centers for application or adaptation to the needs and conditions in the region.

These are located in strategic places in the country representing the basic agroclimates, and are based mostly at state colleges or universities, while others are under the Department of Agriculture.

D. COOPERATING STATION

Cooperating stations are selected stations of DA, SCUs, or private research centers located in various parts of the country.

They provide facilities and/or sites where adaptive trials or field experiments are undertaken to take into account micro-environment differences.

Cooperating stations with adequate resources and developed capability are also involved in adaptive trials and verification activities.
