ABSTRACT
This chapter examines an attempt will be made to shed light on the agricultural-industrial interaction that is being formed under different contexts. In terms of priority, a country can take up the development of agriculture prior to the development of industry, or vice vesa, or it can attempt both simultaneously. The case of South Korea illustrates the strategy of facilitating a rapid industrialization by joint initiatives of the state and individuals and by taking an outward' and export-oriented economic policy. In theory, the linkage between agriculture and industry within a country is provided by food, labor, raw materials, and capital funds. Hypothetically, a country can remain agricultural without ever going through industrialization. Human civilization was originally based on agriculture, and consequently all traditional societies were more or less self-sufficient in terms of agriculture. The evolutionary progress of industrialization in the nineteenth century compelled the British Parliament to repeal the Corn Laws and liberalize grain trade.
