The processing of products obtained from agricultural companies is included in the activities of other economic sectors according to national account arrangements. This is why the importance of agricultural activities outside the primary production sector is not clearly illustrated by official national economic indicators. If we consider that agriculture is closely related to upstream and downstream economic sectors and the development of upstream and downstream sectors of the economy is based on agricultural activities and their structural development is closely related to agricultural development, we conclude that the restrictions on how national accounts are provided do not show the real importance of agriculture in the national economy. The traditional approach to rural areas should be studied and reconsidered the formation and calculation of rural economic statistics. In this study, rural economy is divided into upstream, core, and downstream sectors, and agricultural information in upstream sector, core, and downstream sectors is extracted using published information in rural economy. The results include the policy recommendation that the government needs to change two types of policies in this area both of them need to be pursued simultaneously: 1. Strengthen targeted investment in rural infrastructure and support industries with rural focus 2- Attention to the modernization of downstream activities of rural economy, especially commerce, distribution, and services.
