Word From General Manager

Agricultural Research Institute for Development (IRAD) is a public administrative institution with scientific and technical status, endowed with legal personality and financial autonomy. As a secular arm of the Cameroonian state in agricultural development, IRAD is under the technical supervision of the Ministry of Scientific Research and Innovation. It also operates under the financial supervision of the Ministry of Finance.

As such, it provides scientific research and the promotion of agricultural development throughout the country, often in partnership with other state, regional and international institutions. The identification of sector constraints and the programming of activities to be carried out take into account the sector strategies developed by the various ministerial departments involved in the development of the rural sector.
