Abstract

This paper has taken an attempt to identify some key agents of production process of agro processing SMEs relating to productivity and performance. In order to assess the current performance, this study has focused on the density of total as well as indigenous technology of the vital economy generating sector. Indeed, main focus was on the impact of technology density on the value addition process. The results demonstrate that the density of technology is one of the key dominant factors among the inputs of production process which is usually controlled by the value added index. It is also found that implementation of S & T policy is one of the principal barriers of value added process. This paper is ended with an empirical model relating to technology density for the sustainable growth of agro processing SMEs of Bangladesh. The author's hope, the analytical framework proposed for the growth of agro processing SMEs would be an effective tool for agro business and as well for the government for their decision making.
