Abstract :Agriculture and agri-food industry sectors operating in Konya province were analyzed by using the input-output model. There are 449 agri-food industry enterprises operating in the province. 98 agri-food industry were determined by sampling method and questionnaires were applied to these businesses through face-to-face interviews. The study has analyzed how the production of agriculture and agri-food industry in Konya province have changed and affected production of other sectors due to changes in their final demands. Forward and backward linkage coefficient of sectors was calculated and the key sector was determined. Feed industry with forward (0,5585) and backward (0,4408) linkage coefficient above average was determined to be the key sector. Economic loss due to sectors’ provision of input through import was also examined in terms of production, employment and income. Vegetable oil industry taking 71% of its input from outside the province was determined to be the sector with the highest lack of economic activity among other sectors. Consequently, provision of intermediate inputs needed by agriculture and agri-food industry businesses in Konya province from the province itself will contribute to the production and employment of all sectors and to the development of Konya province.Keywords : İnput-Output Analizi, Kilit Sektör, Sızıntı Katsayısı, Tarıma Dayalı Sanayi, Konya
