 Terms of trade  Direct effects eg. Consumption of basis goods SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT  Dependent on the size output.

 PROVISION OF SUPPORT FUND AND SUBSIDIES  RESEARCH AND EDUCATION  STANDARDIZATION OF OUTPUT  PRIORITIZING LOCALLY MANUFACTURED GOODS

There is a positive correlation between the agricultural development and industrial growth. These linkages create synergies, thus the strengthening of these sectors will aid go a long way to affect the economy positively. The development of one at the expense of the other will not be enough for development. Hence the need to strengthen both parties.
