Extended Abstract
Introduction and Objective: One of the important economic policies in most countries is to support the producer or consumer by paying subsidies. Most countries in the world implement the targeting of subsidies in a way so that they can reduce their costs and create a great economic benefit for their country. In Iran, subsidies were targeted in 2009 to increase economic welfare and decrease energy consumption. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the role of feed and fuel subsidy policies on the economic performance of poultry farmers in Kerman.
Material and Methods: To achieve the economic performance of the poultry farmers of Kerman City, the positive programming method was used for sensitivity analysis. The data of this study was collected through the collection of 200 questionnaires from the operators of Kerman city using the full enumeration method during the years 1400-1401. The policies considered in this study include the policy of gradual elimination of subsidies, including chicken feed and fuel.
Results: The results of the analysis of the positive mathematical program showed that the policy of gradually reducing chicken feed and fuel subsidies has a negative effect on the level of production and profit of poultry farmers in Kerman province.
Conclusion: According to the research results in the target area, both broiler chicken and egg-laying chicken products can enter the production pattern, but the production rate is lower compared to the current pattern. It can also be said that the targeting of subsidies has increased the price of production inputs and reduced the profit of poultry farmers.
