Technological innovation ability of agricultural products processing industry in China

According to the present technological innovation of Chinese agricultural products processing industry, using the method and theory of analytic hierarchy process, an evaluating criterion system for technological innovation ability was established to measure the overall technological innovation ability of Chinese agricultural products processing industry. The results showed that the overall technological innovation ability of Chinese agricultural products processing industry upgraded in a certain extent and kept developing during the “Tenth Five-Year Plan” period, but was still at a low level. Compared with the whole industry, a further larger gap occurred when the technological innovation ability of Chinese agricultural products processing industry upgraded. So the policies and suggestions for enhancing the technological innovation ability of Chinese agricultural products processing industry are put forward in conclusion.
