Journal Title: مجله علمی- پژوهشی پژوهش های روستایی - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
Undoubtedly, setting up agro-processing industries is one of the most profitable ways of creating communication between industry and agriculture. These industries reduce seasonal unemployment in rural areas and serve as a strategy for entrepreneurship and employment in the agriculture sector. Despite their potential for expansion, such industries do not have a good status in the county of Frieden. The aim of this study is to investigate the barriers to the development of agro-processing industries in the county of Frieden. The research is of applied type in terms of objectives, non-experimental in terms of the control of variables, and descriptive in terms of data analysis. The study population consisted of 150 experts, industrialists and workers in the agro-processing industries of Frieden County. The data were analyzed through the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and the LISREL software. The results showed that economic, structural, environmental, infrastructure, and geographical features are the potential factors to pose the main obstacles to the processing industries in this county.
