Method od Research ○First, various methods were used to establish the goal of the study, such as literature review, an expert survey and in-depth interview, field research, statistical analysis, and value chain research, etc. In addition, we reviewed all data available for the international community, including international organizations and major donor countries, for strategies and programs in the agricultural and forestry sector targeting Paraguay.
