Abstract

Programming for favorable optimization of resources and production factors is very important in agricultural management. Agricultural activity is combined with uncertainty and it is necessary to take this subject into account. In the present study, Farming Projects in Fars province was prepared with utility-efficient programming. The results showed that at all levels of risk aversion, there was wheat in crop pattern. Sugar beet area decreased with increasing amount of risk aversion and tomatoes grown was deleted from the crop pattern. In addition, onion did not enter in the model in any level of aversion risk. The results showed that government intervention could lead to reduced production risk and therefore increase the level of a particular product (wheat). Therefore, targeted government intervention with decrease in cost and increase in social profit is necessary.
