Abstract
In this paper, the value of exchange rate was calculated in
order to determine comparative advantage in crops of Sari
Township during 2009-2010. Hence, first, comparative advantage
indices are estimated by using a policy analysis matrix. The
results showed that just wheat has a DRC index of one in the
minimum amount of national currency exchange rate value.
This indicated the fact that only wheat, compared to Rice,
Soybean, Canola and Barley in this region, can compete with
global markets and had a social profitable production system.
Therefore, it is recommended that executive policies, which
make competitive ability in wheat, should also be applied for
other products.
