- It is well known that most of the research on agriculture is carried out in developed countries. However, it is necessary to identify to what extent Latin Amer-ica and the Caribbean countries are contributing to the mainstream research output. Therefore, we attempted a bibliometric analysis in order to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the region. Science Citation Index Expanded, for the period 1995-2002, was used as source of data. We retrieved papers published in indexed journals in the following six catego-ries: Agricultural Economics & Policy; Agricultural Engineering; Dairy & Animal Science; Agriculture, Multidisciplinary; Soil Science; and Agronomy. Also, papers that were cited as well as the number of citations attracted. The most productive disciplines were: Dairy & Animal Science.
