The RNDARC operates within the framework of the Ramat Negev Regional Council, in the western Negev, and focuses on applied research in close cooperation with farmers, research instructors, and the academic institutions in Israel which deal with agriculture.
This R&D station carries out experiments every year to test varieties of olives, pomegranates, jojoba, root stocks for wine grapes, tomatoes, peppers, fresh herbs, and ornamental flowers, resulting in the increases of agricultural production in Ramat Negev.
The RNDARC also operates The Ramat Negev International Training Center, training about 600 students per year from Vietnam, Myanmar, Nepal, and Zambia and Guatemala.
