Then this paper takes close analysis in allocation and disposition of financial agricultural science and technology investment in Shanghai in recent years and indicates several problems of the system as follow: small investment quantity, dispersive fund allocation, low investment intensity, unreasonable investment structure and the lack of continuity in investment. On the basis of a comprehensive discussion and analysis on financial agricultural science and technology investment in Shanghai, this paper brings out some suggestions as follow: to increase government investment, to improve the efficiency of the investment system, to enlarge the input channel and to strengthen the management of evaluation system and so on.So, as an important proportion of public financial expenditure, agricultural science and technology investment depends largely on government supply.
