Improving the Contribution of Agricultural Research to Economic Growth: Policy Implications of a Scoping Study in Tanzania

This report makes recommendations on how more use can be made of research to increase agricultural production and growth in Tanzania. It was commissioned by the International Growth Centre, through its office in the Bank of Tanzania, supported by the UK Department for International Development. It shows that, while good work is being done, there is the potential to make much more use of it, but this will require coordination with the extension service, with other parts of value chains, with other researchers, and with those who are promoting large scale farming.
