Abstract: The purpose of this study was to study the structure of the economy and the linkage of the field of production, especially the agricultural fields in the Northeastern provinces. This study shows the impact of economic activity on the basis of output in each province in all 5 groups of the Northeastern provinces in order to know the forward and backward links as well as impact on economic of the provinces, ability to add value and the income distribution in each field of production in the Northeastern provinces. From the study, it is found that production in the region still cannot meet the needs of people within the region; therefore, production is needed to be imported from outside the Northeastern region. The potential event in the Northeast is the field of electrical appliances and electrical equipment as well as Iron and Steel Industry. Most of the production fields and field of agriculture are in backward linkage. It means that the ability to add value and income distribution of production and agricultural field are not good enough and the development and improvement are needed to be focused, especially in the agricultural field. In addition, it is found that the economic in the group of the five cluster provinces are similar.
