Article Main Content

Industrialization  and urbanization can influence the agricultural development. Industrialization  and  urbanization experienced in the last three decades really promoted the agricultural development. Using a sample of 115 countries over the period 1991-2018, this study verifies and finds the support for the hypothesis that industrialization  and urbanization promotes agricultural development with the help of structural equation modeling.

Keywords: Development, Industrialization, Urbanization, Structural, equation, modeling
