Abstract

The agricultural sector was the main sector in various countries before technological developments, which then led to the agricultural sector driving the industrial and service sectors. Economic growth refers to the process of increasing production in an economy, which is reflected in the form of an increase in national income. A country is considered to be experiencing positive economic growth when its real GDP increases and this is one of the benchmarks for assessing economic progress. High economic growth, especially in the long term, is crucial for reducing or even eliminating poverty levels. The theoretical framework emphasizes that economic growth creates or increases job opportunities, which in turn reduces the unemployment rate and increases wages or income for groups. This research is motivated by the low value added in the agricultural sector which is reflected in the low growth of the agricultural sector.
