Economic Evaluation of Ostrich Production Using Fuzzy Approach in Sistan

Abstract

This study aimed to economic evaluation of ostrich production in Sistan region by the use fuzzy conception in five platforms including (1 bird, 30 birds, 50 birds, 100 birds and 200 birds). The result showed that amount of benefit cost for 30, 50, 100 and 200 was 0.20, 0.26, 0.30, 0.31 and present value was 105, 549, 1460, 2927 million rials. According to the results obtained from present value and benefit-cost in fuzzy state, all the suggested units in the study are economically justified. Therefore, construction of fattened ostrich production, from one bird to 200 birds, is justified in the region of Sistan. Results shows that, the implementation of some research projects, such as ostrich farming, would be an effective step to revive the livestock industry in this region.
