Dear Reader:
This volume specifically discusses agroforestry and multipurpose trees and shrubs
(MPTS). PCARRD hopes that the information contained in this book shall pave the way to
more focused R&D work on this commodity.

Volume Editors:
F or the past 30 years, PCARRD has been tasked to identify the research and development
(R&D) gaps, establish a system of R&D priorities and provide directions for agriculture,
forestry and natural resources. In carrying out these tasks, the Council has to assess and
review the R&D performance of different commodities.
This volume, R&D Status and Directions (2000 and Beyond): Agroforestry and
Multipurpose Trees and Shrubs (MPTS), presents an overall picture of the country’s
R&D performance on these commodities from 1990 to 2000. The assessment includes the
following: commodity industry situation, technological milestones, completed and ongoing
R&D projects, institutional capability, and challenges and issues confronting the commodity.
It also presents the R&D gaps that need to be urgently addressed.
The R&D directions presented in this volume provide the R&D community and decision/
policy makers with information on the challenges and issues on agroforestry and MPTS
and the science and technology (S&T) interventions to address the R&D gaps.
We hope that this volume would greatly help in formulating the R&D programs and in
prioritizing the R&D activities for agroforestry and MPTS from 2002 and beyond.
