Abstract: Technological innovation is a major element of agricultural policy in Latin America. Latin American governments invest substantial amounts of their scarce financial and human resources in improving agricultural output and return on investment. It is possible to identify the impact of major technical innovations in agriculture through monitoring productivity measures. In a region where indicators of innovation are poorly developed, and where it is useful to be able to demonstrate the impact of technical innovations to politicians and policy-makers, indicators of innovation in the agricultural sector provide a good case study of the benefits of investment in innovation.
