Abstract

Energy is one of the most important inputs of agricultural production, the consumption of which is directly related to increasing demand for various products in this sector. In this regard, due to the implementation of various phases of targeted subsidies law, energy consumption pattern has been changed in this sector, so the present study intends to show the effect of increasing the final demand of selected agricultural products on direct and indirect uses. In order to achieve the objectives of this research, the latest supply and consumption tables (2016) were used. Therefore, first the supply and consumption tables were integrated, then the effect of increasing demand for cereals, livestock and other agricultural products on the consumption of liquefied petroleum gas, diesel, gasoline, electricity, refined and distributed gas and other products were investigated. The results showed that with the increase in demand for agricultural products, diesel is still the most widely used energy carrier directly. But directly and indirectly, liquefied petroleum gas has the highest consumption coefficients among energy carriers for the agricultural sector. Therefore, based on the analysis of the results, it is suggested that appropriate measures be taken according to the type of product, energy consumption ratios, energy resources, as well as various subsidy policies. Also pay sufficient attention to the role of energy carriers such as liquefied gases that are used indirectly.
