The Effect ofAgricultural Production Subsidies Reduction in the Economic Variables of Agricultural Sector of Iran: Multifunctional Assessment in CGE Model
The production of public goods like amenity value of the
landscape, food security, preservation of rural communities
and rural lifestyle, by agricultural sector is a subject that has
been widely accepted by experts. However, in many policies
and political analyses carried out, solely the production of
private goods by the agricultural sector is paid attention and
the important function of public goods production is ignored.
Given the importance of multifunctional debate of agriculture
in policies analysis, this study examined the effect of agricultural
multifunctionality in the simulation of the agricultural production
subsidiesreduction effects using Computable General Equilibrium
(CGE) model. Simulation results of the effects of agricultural
production subsidies reduction in terms of the multifunctionality
showed that current practices to support the agricultural sector
is non-optimal according to agricultural production and welfare
reduction and the optimal level of supports with and without
multifunctional agriculture is different. The simulation results
showed that the welfare effects of economic reforms in Iran in
the agricultural sector in terms of the multifunctionality will
be positive. This is on condition that the welfare effects of
agricultural reform in terms of the multifunctionality of
agriculture are negative
