Establishment and development of agro-based industries is highly significant as a production process which is supportive of agriculture and is also a strongly potential substitute to absorb and attract the excessive workforces of agriculture in rural areas.
Flavarjan town is considered one of the most strategic industrial and agricultural regions of Esfahan province due to its abundant agricultural productions and its long-term record of industry. This town is a very appropriate location for establishing conversional and complementary units with regard to its surplus production of some agricultural products such as onion, potato, cucumber, leafy and nodal vegetables, rice and fruit.
In this study, first the rate of productions of cultivation, garden and animal husbandry has been investigated; then the amount of waste and fresh-eaten waste of every product and also the shortage and surplus of productions is evaluated separately. In the next stage, with regard to the consumption of the active or developing units of conversional and complementary agricultural industries of the area, and also with respect to the potential capacity of the town, and of course with due attention to the surplus production of the area, those productions with higher process capacity for the development and extension of conversional and complementary industries have been determined. The types of products and the extent of their productivity illustrate that there is an appropriate ground for developing conversional and complementary industries in this area. According to the findings, products such as rice, leafy and nodal vegetables, potato, onion, cucumber, quince, milk and eggs prove to deserve a higher priority of programming for the producers.
