【 摘 要 】

Effect of agricultural productivity on economic growth has been widely documented throughthe literature. However, scarce are those who dived into this correlation on DRC. This studyaimed at mending that gap by responding to questions whether there is relationship betweenagriculture productivity and economic growth of Congo, whether agricultural technologysignificantly contributes to the productivity and how, whether increase in investment in theagricultural sector would positively contribute to economic growth of Congo.This study found a significant correlation between agricultural productivity and economicgrowth of Congo. The results of this study revealed a significant contribution of mechanicaltechnology but didn’t find significant correlation between biochemical technology and longrun economic growth. Empirical results presented in this dissertation have asserted that ODAand FDI are agricultural responsive funding channels.The major contribution of this study is to rise public attention on the importance ofagriculture as a pro-poor sector and the channel through which technology can contribute tothe economic growth on the long run.
