Abstract

Mazandaran province is one of the important poles of Tobacco production in the country. Evaluation of Tobacco cultivation status as a specialized commodity production system in the province over a 28-year period based on available evidence indicates a decline in cultivation of this crop. The aim of this study is to identify and analyze factors affecting farmers' tendency to continue tobacco cultivation in the Mazandaran province. Data collection tool was a questionnaire, its validity was confirmed by the opinion of a group of experts and its reliability was based on Cronbach's alpha coefficient for different sections of the questionnaire, including environmental, extensional, technical, and social and support factors above 0. 75. The statistical population of this study is composed of tobacco farmers in the Mazandaran province. 147 samples were selected using Cochran sampling method based on stratified sampling. According to descriptive analysis, 47. 5% of the farmers were positive about tobacco cultivation and the comparison of the mean tendency to continue cultivation in relation to age, literacy level, background tobacco farmers and income in the two communities (advocates and disagreeing continue to cultivate tobacco) did not show a significant difference. Also, according to the results of logistic regression analysis of drought and dry growing conditions, competing products such as rice and wheat, labor family and transparency of purchase rates, respectively, with impact coefficients of 0. 663, 1. 079, 0. 589 and 0. 628 has predicted a total of 33% of farmers' willingness and unwillingness to continue growing tobacco. Accordingly, in order to increase farmer’ s tendency to continue cultivating, it is recommended to adopt appropriate pricing policies and provide support services such as providing loans and credits, tobacco insurance and their familiarity with appropriate agricultural methods and land preparation according to local conditions of the region.
