This paper attempts a comparative analysis of the economic and non‐economic damage of rural industrialization to the environment of a poor community in a developing country. The major finding is that rural industrialization is more directly and strongly associated with environmental disamenities than with economic loss. A policy implication of this is that the package of rural industrialization strategy in developing nations must transcend conventional compensation schemes. The package must include programmes to provide for alternative sources of water, say, and an adequate health care delivery, where the disamenities caused are in the forms of polluting natural sources of water supply and/or increasing health hazards
