Description: Oromia Agricultural Research Institute (OARI) was established on July 7, 2001 by proclamation No.44/2001 of Caffee Oromia (Megeleta Oromia 2001). Since, the Institute has been undertaking various research programs that have been fundamental for food security and poverty reduction. With the responsibility of solving major agricultural problems, the Institute conducting applied research programs in the region. Moreover, the Institute is coordinating and implementing various national research programs. To shoulder these great responsibilities, the institute organized itself in firm base of structure and planned action to solve researchable agricultural problems step by step. To increase agricultural productivity and hence the desired impacts, generation of demand driven, problem solving and cost-effective agricultural technologies is not an option but a necessity. To materialize this effect, OARI follows a new research approach that emphasizes on identifying strategic agricultural growth and development issue that help to overcome the rapidly changing conditions both in the internal and external environments.
The environments in which OARI operated has changed in many aspects. As, the case in many developing countries, the scarcity of resources is acute and critical, for there are many competing priorities that need attention. To win this competitive atmosphere and use the limited resources effectively and efficiently. OARI focuses on systematic, result oriented, participatory and team sprit research approach in diversified agro-ecologies and farming/pastoral system.
Currently, OARI has 17 research centers addressing various agro-ecologies of the region working on Crop, Coffee and Tea, Livestock, Natural Resource, Agricultural Engineering, Technology Multiplication, Crop Protection, Food Science, Agricultural Extension and Socio-Economics. Food science laboratory at headquarter and tissue culture at Adami Tulu Agricultural Research Center has been functioned to tackle agricultural problems and serving our farmers and pastoral society to transform agriculture through science and technology and contributing to food security and economic development of Oromia region in particular and the country in general.
