I am pleased to welcome you to the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the leading public scientific research institution in Ghana. Established in 1958 as the National Research Council, CSIR has transformed over the course of six decades to its present status, comprising THIRTEEN (13) RESEARCH INSTITUTES and collectively over SIXTY (60) FIELD STATIONS, RESEARCH CENTRES AND ESTABLISHMENTS across the length and breadth of the country. CSIR has chalked successes in coming up with technologies in crop and animal production, agro-processing and value addition, building and road construction, environmental management and industrial manufacturing. 

In the area of food security for example, over 70% of farmers in the country are using improved varieties of maize, rice, groundnut, soybean, yam, cassava and millet developed by CSIR. The same can be said of the poultry, livestock and fisheries subsectors. We are also at the forefront in the development and promotion of strategies for the production of snails, grasscutter, rabbits, mushrooms, honey and other non-traditional commodities. Read More!
