Income inequality is one of the most important issues that is of serious concern to economic policymakers due to its impact on various aspects of economic welfare and food. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between the increase in the agricultural value added and income inequality. For this purpose, the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) approach has been used for the period of 2005-2014. The results show that the effects of increasing the agricultural value added on income inequality are negative and different results are obtained at sub-sectors. The most important finding of this research is that agricultural policies have very different results in sub-sectors and regions. Therefore, it is suggested to change the macro-sector approach of the agricultural sector and replace it with the macro-sub-sector approach. In the following, development policies appropriate to each province and depending on the nature of the subdivisions of each province should be taken into consideration.
