The growth in agricultural R&D spending and staffing were calculated using CAGR. The (+/-) indicates the positive/negative growth trend of countries in these indicators. * N/A = not available, Philippines did not have panel data on total researchers; hence, not presented along with agricultural researchers per million farmers.
