Agricultural Inputs Allocation Model of Ethiopian Agricultural System

Abstract

Farmers and investors like to use some important models for agricultural planning and decision making process. Researchers have developed linear programming model for agricultural farm land allocation. In this research, we construct cropping and tillage arrangement models. Cropping arrangement model is constructed from existing cropping arrangements in Ethiopia. We construct Tillage arrangement model to determine tillage day and aggregate farm land using the number of oxen and workers. We also construct agricultural inputs allocation models to solve agricultural inputs allocation problem. Finally, we derive a technique to determine revenue for farm land, inputs and labor contribution using share cropping and labor sharing arrangements.
