Lebanese Agricultural Research Institute

LARI is a Lebanese governmental agricultural research institute under the Ministry of Agriculture, with 12 centers and eight experimental stations across a 280-hectare network. Its distributed infrastructure places research close to farming regions and supports field trials, laboratory analysis, monitoring, and practical validation under varied agro-climatic conditions. Close ties with farmers, public agencies, universities, private-sector channels, and international research organizations help move findings into production and services. Funding combines government support with international and development support, including long-standing relationships with FAO, UNDP, ICARDA, and other multilateral and bilateral partners.
