By reducing the share of the agricultural sector in GDP in different countries, based on extensive forward and backward linkages of the agriculture sector, since the 1960s, the concept of agribusiness has been presented to explain the valuable contribution of agriculture to the national economy. This paper estimated the share of agribusinesses in the gross domestic product by the input-output tables of 1986, 1991, 2001, and 2016. The results showed that agribusinesses’ contribution to GDP was about 2.5 times that of agricultural production (the average agribusinesses’ share in 1986-2016 was about 23% while the corresponding figure for agriculture value added was 9.25 %). In a similar trend with the developing and developed countries, the share of agribusinesses in GDP had decreased from 27.2 to 17 percent in 1986-2016, but the examination of the components of agribusinesses in Iran compared to other countries indicate significant differences, which can be attributed to Iran's arid and semi-arid climates, low rate of capital formation, low productivity of production factors, as well as lack of participation in regional and global chains due to long-term sanctions imposed on the economy.
