In any globalized economic environment, the sectors of economic activity behave and resist differently depending on the causes of the turbulence. Certain sectors have a resilient attitude and play a stabilizing role, supporting growth and employment. These sectors are generally linked to the basic needs of the population; in this case, the agricultural and food sector stand out. This study seeks to examine the potential of agriculture in promoting integrated development in the national economy, by capturing its interactions with other economic sectors. Input-output analysis was applied to examine both the contribution of the primary sector and the impact of agricultural policy (Green Morocco Plan) on the entire national economy. Using this analytical tool, the input-output model, based on the Resources-Jobs table (TRE), it is demonstrated that the impact of said agricultural policy is not limited to the primary sector, but, it directly and indirectly affects d 'other sectors, as well as total production, employment and household income. The results also suggest that agriculture is an important engine of growth, helping to increase local production, ensuring a stable supply of food and ensuring a reasonable standard of living for farmers.
