Abstract
One of the factors influencing product performance is dust storms. Accordingly, it has been attempted to evaluate the economic assessment of dust storm damage on the performance of agricultural products in Khuzestan province, the effective factors and the amount of tendency to pay using the conditional valuation method were calculated, up to the extent and role of any effective factor. Be determined on the likelihood of a willingness to pay. Finally, using estimated models, approximate damage was determined for various agricultural groups.
Information about the variables of the research was completed by referring to cities and different seasons in Khuzestan province and for2018-2019 from farmers who had independent incomes. To determine the sample, Michael and Carson formula (1989) was used, with a sample of 372 subjects. Sampling was used by cluster sampling method. To calculate the total damage of the dust, first, using the results of the Logit model, the tendency to pay monthly people was obtained to improve damage. Then the tendency to pay annually of each farmers and the entire province was calculated.
The results of the conditional valuation method were obtained as approximate damage of different groups of products, which had the highest and garden products with 330250 rials with 330250 rials, and the rest of the products included vegetables with 583200, cereals with 534400, legumes with 483520, forage with 353240, rials, the tendency to pay for a month. Also, the amount of damage to cereal, finance, vegetables, legumes, forage and garden was obtained 6412, 7395, 6998, 5802, 4238 and 3963 thousand rials per year for each exploitation, and ultimately estimated damages for the entire province for the groups of products Grain, grain, vegetables, legumes, forage and garden respectively 387, 384, 275,
127, 126 and 98 billion rials.
In total, total damage was estimated to be 1397 billion annual rials for the entire province, compared with the value of agricultural production for 1396, as much as 1.2%, and it can be said that the amount of damage is a significant amount that requires control of control policies to control dust storms Appropriate international and domestic necessary.
