Abstract

Given the importance of the agricultural sector in food production and security, countries around the world are using various policies to support the agricultural sector. One of the food security clauses is the dependence on food imports, especially cereals. Due to the growth of production in the last three decades in Iran, it is still forced to import some agricultural products to meet domestic demand. Success in increasing agricultural production requires the implementation of correct and codified policies to support producers. With the scientific implementation of supportive policies such as setting a guaranteed price for a strategic wheat crop, it can have positive effects on the production of this crop. As a result, given the importance of the issue, The purpose of this study is to investigate the policy of guaranteed price on wheat productivity in Yazd province in the period 1368-1395 using It is an indicator of Malm Quest and a self-explanatory model. The results showed that wheat yield and yield in the short term have a positive and significant relationship with guaranteed price, but gradually and in the long run the effect of this policy will decrease. As a result, given the different effects of guaranteed price on wheat productivity, it is suggested that this policy be reconsidered and continued.
