The aim of the present study is to compare the regional differences of the intermediate factors productivity in production of various economic sectors.  For this purpose, first the regional input-output tables of all provinces of Iran have been extracted based on the Adjusted Flegg Location Quotient (AFLQ). Then, the intermediate factors productivity of all provinces has been calculated and compared with those of Tehran province. According to the results, “manufacture of food products, beverages and tobacco products”, “constructions”, and “manufacture of textiles, wearing, and leather” sectors have the lowest regional differences in the intermediate factors productivity, respectively. Also, “mining”, “activities of real estate agents, brokers, and renting and business”, and “electricity, gas, and water” sectors have the highest regional differences of the intermediate factors productivity, respectively.
