Abstract: Private firms are becoming more important in agricultural technology transfer, which occurs when a country acquires, imitates, or adapts technologies that were developed in another country. New crop varieties, farm chemicals, and farm operating systems are some of the advances spread through technology transfer. This report discusses the implications of and reasons for the private sector's expanding role in agricultural technology transfer, a field that once was dominated by public sector institutions such as governments, international organizations, and universities.
