Modelling and Allocation of Crops: Mathematical Programming Approach

Abstract

Mathematical programming techniques are commonly used by decision makers for achieving efficiency in agricultural production planning. Due to increasing demands of growing population of world, one needs to utilize the limited available resources in the most efficient and economic way. In this paper, the fractional programming problem is formulated and is used to determine the optimal cropping pattern of vegetable crops in such a way that the total profit is maximized. The solution of the formulated Fuzzy programming problem is obtained using LINGO.

Potential of mathematical model-based decision making to promote sustainable performance of agriculture in developing countries: A review article

“…In this regard, literatures suggest the significance of the FGP approach for efficient utilization of agricultural resources. For instance, the work of Mohaddes and Mohayidin (2008), Safavi and Alijanian (2011), Ghaderzadeh et al (2011), andAmini (2015) from Iran, Biswas and Pal (2005) and Lone et al (2019) from India, and El Sayed (2012) from Egypt support the fact. The studies suggested that the use of the FGP approach is not only significant for efficient resource utilization but also to identify land allocation strategies.…”
