Abstract

This research is an attempt to determine the agronomic plan, shadow price, and final value with an emphasis on the optimization of water use in five main agricultural regions of Kerman province (Kerman, Baft, Bardsir, Bam, and Jiroft) and five crops (wheat, barley, potato, onion, and tomato). Analysis was based on three scenarios: (i) current planting conditions, (ii) profit maximization considering the constraints of required water and land, and (iii) profit maximization considering the constraints, including land and local consumption constraint. The results revealed that wheat and barley are eliminated from the planting pattern when water and land constraints are applied (Scenario 2), but other crops gain more planting area. Under all constraints (Scenario 3), barley is eliminated from the planting pattern, but other crops will not have changes in the cultivation area.
