The Surinamese agriculture can be divided into modern, traditional and roaming agriculture. Contrary to the traditional and roaming agriculture the modern agriculture knows no biodiversity. Because of the need for expansion in the agricultural sector, research is being done with non-traditional crops to see if they can develope into economically important crops. Officially the government has no policy concerning the conservation and durable use of biodiversity and genetic resources within the agricultural sector. Also Suriname has no gene or seed banks, for the storage of genetic material, that meet the international standards. Different governmental institutions are busy with research of different varieties of peanut, maiz and soja, improving and maintaining different varieties of rice and in vitro propagation of e.g. agricultural crops. On a national level there's no cooperation between the different governmental departments, however informally there is a good contact between the researchers of the different departments. Internationally there is also a cooperation between Suriname and regional and international organisations. This cooperation is of great importance for Suriname because Suriname is still in its infants shoes concerning activities in the area of biodiversity and genetic resources. Further some governmental policies concerning the import and export of plant material are discussed. Finally some conclusions and recommendations concerning the durable use and preservation of Surinams agricultural genetic resources are given.
