Abstract This empirical research shows the relationship of food production index, agricultural land area, agricultural machinery, and agricultural value added tax. The researchers have done a wide set of econometric testing to see if there is a strong relationship between these variables. After doing the tests, we found out that agricultural machinery and agricultural land area greatly affects the food production index. However, the agricultural value added has a weak effect since it is not significant to the model.
