University of Tehran Iranian Journal of Agricultural Economics and Development Research 2008-4838 47 3 2016 09 22 Effects of Agriculture Sector Producer Support Estimate and Consumer Support Estimate on Food Security in Iran Effects of Agriculture Sector Producer Support Estimate and Consumer Support Estimate on Food Security in Iran 755 769 60601 10.22059/ijaedr.2016.60601 FA Mohammadreza Pakravan 0000-0002-1570-4954 Journal Article 2015 02 24 Considering the importance of agriculture sector for production, employment and establishing food security, different countries include developed and developing ones, support mentioned sectors in various ways.

So that for each increase in Consumer Support Estimator, food security 0.228 has been increased. In fact, if the elasticity coefficient is expressed as a percentage increase in the index for consumer protection, food security index of 0.06 percent. This is despite the fact that for every one unit increase in the index of producer support, 0.177 unit value index increased food security. This means that for every percentage point increase in support from manufacturers, food security index 0.01 percent increase. ECM coefficient is equal to -0.489 skins. It show that the imbalance of 48.9 of the error disappears. The consumer protection policies and targeted support to producers to increase production in order to improve productivity and food security is essential.
