      abstract = {The study was undertaken to evaluate the contribution of  agro-industry in the Bangladesh economy. The latest two  input-output tables of the year 1993-94 and 2001-2002 in  Bangladesh were used to calculate inter-industry linkage  indices and multiplier effects. Agroindustry contributes a  significant portion of national income and the prospect of  employment generation is increasing at the higher extent  for the sectors food processing, tanning and leather  finishing, leather industry, saw milling and wooden  furniture. Food processing, fish processing, tanning and  leather finishing, leather fabrication, livestock, and  poultry were the key sectors of the Bangladesh economy.  Input dependence of some of the agricultural production  sectors were increased from early nineties to early two  thousand. Tanning and leather finishing, leather  processing, edible oil, food processing and paper industry  draw heavily on other primary industries across a broad  spectrum of supplying industries and these sectors have  powerful stimulus to the economy than the other sectors.  Most of the agricultural processing sectors including some  agricultural production sectors have better potential to  generate more income. All the agro-processing industries  except edible oil generate the higher income of which  tanning and leather finishing, jute bailing, rice milling  and sweeteners generate high level of income. The highest  employment was generated in the sector livestock followed  by poultry. The agro-industries having large multiplier  values were the edible oil, leather finishing, rice  milling, ata and flour milling and fish processing.},
