Abstract: Abstract This paper aims at analyzing the contribution of agriculture to economic growth in postwar Greece, especially after 1970 by exploring the relationship of agriculture with the main non-agricultural economic sectors. The development model proclaimed and followed in postwar Greece neglected agriculture and emphasized industrialization. However, the implementation of the model did not lead to a strong industrial sector, but it destroyed agriculture and over inflated services. In the paper, the use of proper econometric and statistical techniques utilizing time series data collected for the period 1970 up to date establishes that agriculture followed a path not affecting the other economic sectors and at the same time not being affected by them.
