Abstract
The agribusiness sectors, particularly the input supply sectors, become more important as countries become more developed. In addition, for each stage of development, policymakers have shifted attention to the agribusiness sectors as sources of productivity gains. The agricultural sector has traditionally been served by public-sector research institutions, and these have dominated agricultural technology development. Several issues pertinent to technology policy for the agricultural and agribusiness sectors are discussed, including technology institutions, comparative indicators, studies of the relationship between intellectual property rights and research, and policy considerations.
