Objective/Meaning  With the development of economic globalization, the scale of foreign trade of Chinese agricultural products has been expanding, but the increasingly strict trade barriers made the export of Chinese agricultural products still face many challenges and constraints. The analysis of the impact of agricultural technological innovation on the export of agricultural products would help the government to formulate relevant policies, so as to promote the agricultural technological innovation and the export of agricultural products.

  Methods/Procedures  Based on the panel data of 30 provinces in China from 2002 to 2017, the fixed effect model was established to empirically test the impact of agricultural technological innovation on the export of agricultural products in China.

  Results/Conclusions  The results showed that the increase of agricultural R&D personnel investment and agricultural R&D investment had significant positive impact on the export of agricultural products. In addition, the infrastructure construction and the investment in agricultural machinery promoted the export of agricultural products, while the increase in the proportion of crops affected by disasters inhibited the export of agricultural products. Therefore, the following countermeasures were put forward, including paying attention to the cultivation of agricultural researchers and their quality improvement, ensuring the investment and effective use of agricultural scientific research funds, attracting & guiding the foreign investment in the field of agricultural technological innovation, strengthening the infrastructure construction to improve the trade efficiency, promoting the application and popularization of mechanization and automatization in the agricultural production, strengthening the prevention and control of agricultural disasters and the post-disaster subsidies, and strengthening the quality supervision of agricultural products to promote the agricultural technological innovation, etc.
