Abstract: A survey data of 133 basic-level agricultural extension agencies in Sichuan Province was applied to study factors that influence technology supply towards technology demand of cooperatives using Logit model. Results showed that the efficiency of technical extension was higher under the condition with more abundant funds, more experienced technical personnel, and higher degree of technical reserves. When the cooperatives had strong technology needs and actively explored the support of agricultural technology for agricultural extension agencies, the technology supply could be efficient for cooperatives technology demand. The reform of the mechanism of technology promotion would also affect the supply efficiency of technology, technology investment and share dividend of agricultural extension agencies would increase the technology docking efficiency. The more ratios of technology stocks accounted, the higher the efficiency of technology supply. When the types of technology were standard technology, information logistics and other soft technology, the efficiency of technology extension were higher. Finally, the paper put forward some policy suggestions, including strengthening the promotion investment, optimizing the structure of technical personnel team, innovative technology supply and cooperation model.
