“…Through rural industrialization, technical changes occur to improve the quality of life for the rural population. Improvement of the income and the standards of living of factory employees is the most direct impact of rural industrialization (Bertrand and Osborne, 1959). The rural non-farm sector can contribute to economic growth, rural jobs, poverty reduction, and spatially balanced population distribution.…”

“…Second, the increase of tendency to stay in villages and the reduction of migration is the reason for the increase of young people or active population and improved facilities in rural areas. Government planning in these areas predisposes the improvement of standards of living and the expansion of services such as shopping centers, banks, education, health and safety (Chadha, 1996;Sigurdson, 1975;Bertrand and Osborne, 1959).…”

“…Fourth, rural industrialization has significant spin-offs for agricultural development as well. The extension and deepening of the skill profile of the rural workforce, a sharing of rural infrastructures as well as local availability of certain inputs, construction materials and car repair services are examples of what rural industries can do to boost agricultural growth and productivity (Bertrand and Osborne, 1959;Sigurdson, 1975;Geodry, 1977;Parikh and Thorbecke, 1996;Foss, 1997).…”

“…Fifth, the remaining of the population in rural areas leads to the creation of markets in these areas, which, in turn, leads to an increase in investments there (Sigurdson, 1975;Chadha, 1996;Bertrand and Osborne, 1959).…”

Rural industrialization is a means of technical change to improve the quality of life for the current generation in rural areas. One of the most important problems in many developing countries is that of unemployment. This paper reports a survey conducted in Farahan industrial area in Iran through which the impact of industrial areas on the development of rural regions was investigated as a case study. Methods: The population of the research included 236 employees selected in the industrial area. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect the data. Results: According to the results of the factor analysis, economic, social, and infrastructural factors explain 61% of the industrial impact on rural development. The economic factor with an impact of 29% is the most important factor. The social and infrastructural factors with impacts of 23% and 9.3% are found respectively as the second and the third influential factors in the rural industrialization of villages in Farhan County. Conclusion: To alleviate the employment problem in rural areas, setting up industries or expanding non-farm jobs can be a logical way out of the problem. Also, to raise rural people's income and increase their tendency to stay in villages, a planned strategy is required for rural industrialization.

“…In the current agricultural sector, there is an emerging problem of industrialization of the rural society [8] and the transformation of the agrarian economic structure, i.e., transforming the rural community's economic structure into an industrial society [9]. If ignored, the agricultural community's problem will harm the agriculture sector, e.g., the reduction in GDP of the agriculture sector and the labor absorption from the agriculture sector [10].…”

The identification of superior commodities is one of the initial stages of the development of the agro-policy area. This study aims to identify the leading agricultural commodities, land suitability, and the Pasuruan Regency's economic performance. Determination of superior commodities using Location Quotient (LQ) analysis, shift-share analysis, land suitability analysis, potency and problem analysis, and final analysis of district government policy. We found that coffee is the most widely produced plantation commodity in Pasuruan Regency. The shift-share analysis shows that coffee and tobacco grow faster than any other commodity. The land suitability analysis shows that coconut, coffee, cane, and tobacco could be planted in all Pasurua Regency areas. The Government should support coffee's economic performance in the provision of seed, training, organization of coffee events, and sale of coffee processing technology. However, several areas need to be addressed, including cooperative enterprises, agricultural terminals, and business certainty. Besides, cooperation with other industries is also needed to develop international markets.
