Regional Agricultural Growth and Economic Development

Abstract

Since natural resources are not equally distributed in the geographical space of any country, it is clear that economic development does not start from an even distribution. Furthermore, if an economy attempts to raise its levels of income, it becomes necessary to start by developing one or a number of backward regions. The appearance of development poles during the process of economic growth implies not only international differences but also interregional differences. From the geographical point of view, growth is seldom balanced.
