Abstract: The research has assessed the agricultural situation and agro-industrial development in Lamongan District. Main objective of the research is to formulate the strategy foragro-industrial development based on predominant cropsin LamonganDistrict. The specific objectives of the research are to study the current status of agriculture and agro-industrial development in Lamongan District to identify potential areas and crops for agro-processing and to formulate strategyfor agro-industrial development. This research was conducted on all of sub-districts (27 sub-districts) of Lamongan District. The research was focused on five major crops namely paddy, corn, ground nut, soybean, and green pea. In term of industry, the research was focused on formal small-medium scale industries in the Lamongan District.The research is focused on the current situation of agriculture sector that has employed three analyses namely agriculture efficiency analysis, location quotient analysis, and shift share analysis. Whereas, the study of current status of agro-industrial development was conducted with descriptive analysis. Identificationof potential areas was based on the classification of the area using the quartile method,which distinguishes the area (sub-district)into four classes namely very low potential, low potential, medium potential and high potential.After identifying the level of agricultural potential, the current level of agro-industrial development was studied based on selected indicators. Following two sets of analyses, the potential sub-districts have been identified for intensification of agro-industrial development relating to predominant crops. In the study, few sub-districts such as Brondong, Deket and Glagah have high potential for agro-industrial development.Keywords: agric
