The Impact of Technology on Jordanian Agricultural Sector

The study examined the impact of technology on the Jordanian agricultural sector for the period 1987-2016. This study used the Cobb-Douglas linear regression model to test hypotheses. The study found that employment and capital have a positive and statistical effect on the Jordanian agricultural sector. The effect was insignificant with a value of 0.5997, which is greater than 5%. The results also show that agricultural output works at a declining rate of return for volume as the total elasticity of the two components of production for labor and capital are less than the right one, where agricultural output is growing at a slower rate than the increase in labor and fixed capital. Technology has no significant impact and this may be due to the low knowledge and skills of the labor force. Therefore, it is recommended for those interested in the agricultural sector to increase the skills of agricultural labor and provide them with modern agricultural knowledge.
