Productivity has an important and effective role in the growth of production and increasing the competitiveness of countries. In this study, using the Malmquist productivity index, the total productivity growth trend of production factors in three important sectors of the Iranian economy (agriculture, industry and services) during the years 2012-2017 have been discussed. The results showed that during the study period total factors productivity changes in all economic sectors except the industrial sector are due to technological changes, and in the industrial sector, both technical efficiency and technological changes have affected the productivity of this sector. Therefore, the growth of total factor productivity in the agricultural sector has had a negative trend with a decrease of 1.5% and in industry and services has had a positive trend with 7% and 11.3%, respectively.
