Abstract

East Java is a potential province which has high economic growth. Unfortunately, the regional disparity exists among kabupaten/kota. The objectives of this research are to know the condition of regional disparity in East Java, and to determine the agroindustrial key sectors in East Java. The analysis is using Williamson and Theil index, and Input Output model. The result shows that East Java has high regional disparity level. The regions which cause the disparity are Kota Surabaya, Kota Kediri, Kabupaten Sidoarjo, Kota Malang, Kabupaten Gresik, Kota Probolinggo, and Kota Mojokerto. Trade, Hotel and Restaurant Sector becomes the cause of the disparity, and Agriculture sector does not. The agroindustrial key sectors, which can improve the economy condition, are (1) butchery, (2) fish processing, and (3) rice. Based on research, the undeveloped region has agriculture potential which can be improved. Therefore, the government needs to develop this potential to raise its economic growth. Beside that, the government should give open access of resource, information, technology, and capital. Moreover, the development of human resource and alignment of regulation have to be improved as well. Key word: Planning, Development, Agroindustry
