Abstract

Agriculture serves as a primary sector of an economy which laid foundation for other sectors of an economy and with the support of industry sector the territory sector came in to existence. Thus the collective support of Agriculture and industry sector uplifts the economy and a sustainable growth of an economy is governed. The inter-linkage between Agriculture and industry sector from different aspects not only bring growth to these two sectors but economy as whole. Thus in this paper we try to analyze the Agriculture industry linkages in the economy of Jammu and Kashmir in order to see the impact of these two sectors on one others growth and on economy as whole and also to study the phase and status of these two sectors in the economy of Jammu and Kashmir. Our results suggest that there is positive and strong relation from Agriculture sector towards industrial sectors but from industry the linkages are deteriorating due to weak industrial infrastructure in the state. The agriculture sector helps industry sector to grow from income, raw material, labor force etc but from industry sector a small amount of industrial output and income went to Agricultural sector which result increasing pressure for income through services sector which is showing small amount of growth over the years.

Key words: Agriculture, linkages, industry, income, output and input.
