The agricultural sector plays a very strategic role in economic development, particularly in developing countries. In addition to providing food for the population, this sector is also a source of industrial raw materials, absorbs labor, earns foreign exchange, and drives economic activity in rural areas. From an economic development perspective, agriculture plays a role not only as a primary production sector but also as a foundation for structural transformation that drives the growth of other sectors. Johnston and Mellor (1961) explained that the agricultural sector makes at least five main contributions to economic development: providing food for the population, providing labor for the non-agricultural sector, forming capital for development investment, providing foreign exchange through exports, and creating markets for industrial products. Therefore, successful agricultural development will have a multiplier effect.
