Abstract

Increased cost of rice production is of a major concern in Iran, so that a development of mechanization to reduce its production costs is inevitably indispensable. Within this context a Delphi study was conducted within three phases to identify the driving vs INHIBITING FORCES concerning the development of mechanized cultivation of rice in Guilan Province. Following consultation with some of the academic staff of the Guilan Univercitis involved in rice production and the staff of the Department of Technical and Engineering section of Rice Research Institute of Iran, a number of 30 experts from the Jihad-e agriculture organization of Guilan province and its subsidiary offices (offices of Roudsar, Langaroud, Amlash, Lahijan, Siahkal, Astaneh Ashrafieh, Rasht, Anzali, Some-Sara, Fouman, Shaft, Masal, Talesh, and Astara) as well as research faculty members of the Department of Technical and Engineering section of Rice Research Institute of Iran were called upon for cooperation in the study. Results revealed that “The development of such infrastructures as increase in the number of " transplanting banks" with the acquisition of 97.5% of the votes of the mechanization experts "Improvement of the machineries' after-sales services, especially for imported machines and equipments with 95.8% of experts' agreement were the most driving forces for the development of PADDY FIELDS' mechanization in Guilan. The Delphi study as related to inhibiting factors indicated that “the small and scattered PADDY FIELDS” with acquisition of some 97.5% of the experts' agreement as well as "low prices of milled rice” with 92.5% of experts' agreement constituted the top inhibiting factors of the development of rice mechanized cultivation in Guilan province. Therefore, according to infrastructures required for paddy field mechanization, building of enough trust to provide all the after-sales services, effort to consolidate the small PADDY FIELDS, and provision of the appropriate governmental policies to ensure purchase of produced rice (in line with inflation) are the most important steps needed to be taken by the custodians of the Iran’s Ministry of Agriculture.
