INTERPAKS, In: A. Maunder and K. Ohkawa, eds. Growth and equity in agricultural development : Proceedings of the 18th annual international conference of agricultural economists. Aldershot, Hampshire, UK: Gower, 1983. p. 519-528., Reviews the substantial literature on agricultural technology transfer, with a focus on the key economic and institutional constraints which account for the stagnation of agricultural technology in developing nations. The failure of local institutions to develop new technologies has forced a reliance on international sources of both the private and public type. Profit constraints and differences in resource scarcity provide fundamental economic barriers to the development of new technology by foreign private interests. Another difficulty arises because international centers depend primarily on developed countries for investment funds. Since the developed countries see little direct benefit from these investments, high rates of return from successful research do not guarantee increases in financial support. These circumstances imply that the future development of efficient new technologies is likely to require the investment of additional resources at the local level.
