Abstract
The article explores changes in volume and composition of investments in agricultural research and development (agricultural R&D) that have taken place in recent decades. It reviews the international experience and presents stylized facts about the groups of developed and developing countries. From an unpublished database of primary data, the study evaluates the dynamics of private R&D investments allocated in Brazil by companies from the agricultural input sectors. The aim of this work is to describe the recent transformations of agricultural R&D efforts in the country and to contribute with decision making processes for agricultural technological progress. The conclusions highlight the high technological intensity, the growth of private investments and the small relative participation of national companies in the technological progress of agricultural input industries in the country.References
