Abstract

In this study, the effects and effective factors on the agricultural research technical knowledge transfer market from the perspective of researchers and buyers of technical knowledge in the years 2015 and 2016 have been discussed using a survey research method. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, to measure the internal consistency of the questionnaire, has been estimated at 0.84, which shows appropriate homogeneity. By examining 95 cases of commercialized technical knowledge, the results show, 8.2 job opportunities, 20,150 million Rials added value, 475 million Rials saved in reducing the consumption of inputs, 254 thousand dollars in foreign exchange savings and 938.6 million Rials in attracting capital per Technology is estimated. With one rial spent on agricultural technology research, it has 5.13 rials (including foreign exchange savings) and 2.43 rials (not including) income per year. For 11 years useful life of each technology, 21.6 rials of income is estimated. Tax exemption, bank interest and protective laws are the most important factors affecting the success and high rate of bank facilities, the existence of various guarantees and high cost of production are the factors affecting the failure of the organization’s technical knowledge transfer.
