| Based on the date collected by the national banana industry information technology system about
Chinese banana production, harvested area, material input, labor input and so on from 1995 to 2013, the contribution
rate of scientific and technological progress of banana production in China based on the Cobb-Douglas production
function model, was 23.5% (Solow residual method). The elastic coefficient of harvested area was 1.023, the elastic
coefficient of material inputs was -0.582, and the elastic coefficient of labor input was 0.517. However, the
contribution of agricultural science and technology was 52%, there was still a large gap. The main reasons inclued
the lack of effective technological investment and effective technology diffusion for banana. So strengthening the
scientific research, enhancing the role of science and technology to promote banana production, promoting the close
integration of scientific research and the actual production for banana, facilitating the effective supply and the
effective diffusion of banana production technology, accelerating the development process of organization for banana
industry, establishing the supply mechanism of quasi -public class production technology, could enhance the
contribution rate of scientific and technological progress of banana production in China for a longer period of time. |
