Abstract: This work aims to a construction of an industrial FDI attractiveness score. It was illustrated by the case of Agri-Food Industries in South and East Mediterranean Countries (SEMCs). The multiplication of attractiveness scores and indicators reduces the visibility/ credibility of public policies. In addition, the agri-food Industry and food product have several specificities in terms of multinational companies' strategies and types of IDE. Scores obtained for agri-food industry present strong similarities with global attractiveness scores and translate only slightly specificities of this industry. Because this attempt of a score industrial construction has many limits as in data used and mode of calculation, its results should not contest the need to take into account industrial specificities.
