In recent years there has been a significant challenge to the development of oil rich areas, regarding the oil industry's activity in these areas and the expectations of people, as well as the impacts of the economic and oil sectors. Specifying the key economic sectors in Khuzestan's oil-rich areas and identifying investment priorities will encourage the region's economic development goals. Therefore, in this study, using regional input- output table, priority activities of studied area are identified based on the comparative advantage. Based on the results, agriculture and industry are the leading sectors with the most forward and backward links with other economic sectors. Whereas according to the comparative advantage index, the agricultural sector and some subdivisions of the service sector have comparative advantage. As the private sector is more focused on fast return activities, its fields of activity is more directed to agricultural and service activities. In the short run, therefore, the economic benefits of the area can be maintained by the completion of agricultural infrastructure and the development of related industries, and the development of public and social services infrastructure; So, economic development and employment can be increased. Also, in the long run where it is possible to invest, the industry sector can be considered as an important part of the economic development of the area.
