.Agriculture led to the development of science and technology; This is due to when farmers need make their activities into higher standard need to innovate new plans and implement it .

Agriculture cause the improvements of financial institutions like bank's, and microfinance , institution, this is due to the profits earning from client who they  take loans to run their agricultural sectors and those who will use bank to presave their money after sell their products.
