The Institute of Agricultural Research was created in Laprakë, Albania, in 1948, and was then called Stacioni Eksperimental Bujqesor. In 1950 it was renamed to Stacioni i Kerkimeve Bujqesore. On 7 December 1952 it was renamed again into Instituti i Kerkimeve Shkencore Bujqesore. In 1956 the institute was transferred into new facilities in Lushnjë, southern Albania. Its mission was the research and experimentation in the agricultural field, the study of the agricultural crops, and their fitosanitary situation, as well as the development of pedology studies on government owned farm lands.
In 2006 the institute was dissolved by law as a nationwide reorganization occurred, following which new scientific institutions were created.
