摘要： This paper investigates the impact of digital transformation on innovation within the agribusiness sector, both theoretically and empirically, through an examination of Chinese A-share agriculture-related listed companies spanning from 2011 to 2021. The findings suggest that digital transformation significantly enhances innovation capability of agribusiness, while concurrently fostering improvements of its innovation quality. These results hold robust following an endogeneity test and a series of robustness tests. Our heterogeneity analysis found that digital transformation exerts a more pronounced influence on promoting innovation among state-owned agribusinesses, those located in the eastern region of China, and those facing heightened financing constraints. Mechanism testing revealed that digital transformation not only enhances the technological capabilities of agribusiness but also alleviates their financial constraints, thereby facilitating the convergence of innovative resources such as technology, talent and capital to agribusiness, and consequently elevating agribusi-ness innovation levels. This paper elucidates the impacts and mechanisms of digital transformation on agribusiness innovation, offering valuable insights for decision-makers aiming to foster agribusiness innovation, particularly in developing nations.
