OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Reader:
This year, PCARRD is celebrating 30 years of service to the Philippine agriculture,
forestry, and natural resources sectors. Through the years, the Council has steadfastly
provided the directions in developing and modernizing these sectors to meet the
country’s ever-challenging demands for food security, economic growth, and sustainable
development.
In order to keep a top-caliber research system, PCARRD has streamlined its
R&D efforts by pursuing 20 important commodities on crops, livestock, agricultural
resource management, forestry and environment, and socioeconomics. To this end,
PCARRD has come up with this special publication, R&D Status and Directions (2000
and Beyond), composed of 20 volumes. Each volume provides essential information on
the R&D status and directions of a specific commodity prioritized by PCARRD and the
National Agriculture and Resources Research and Development Network (NARRDN).
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.
Very truly yours,
PATRICIO S. FAYLON
Executive Director

For 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.
