Abstract

Introduction: In dry areas, crop yield is generally low and there are limitations in fulfilling goals such as increasing the area under cultivation and reducing the cost of production. In such circumstances, the agricultural activity is limited to crops that can tolerate the harsh climatic conditions, secure farmers' income, and tolerate saline and limited water resources in these areas. Therefore, it has been quite inevitable to change the farmers’ attitude towards the cropping pattern. One of the important policies aimed at developing this agricultural sector i is to put more emphasis on the cultivation of strategic crops tailored to the capacity of the various regions. PISTACHIO as a strategic crop is one the most precious agricultural and herbal plants in the world which is highly resistant to draught and salinity, and has played a significant role in improving the social and economic situation of villages in the arid and semi-arid regions which face many limitations in cultivation of agricultural crops. Sabzevar with a hot and dry climate is one of the major centers for cultivation of this crop in Khorasan Razavi Province (with 2737 hectares of PISTACHIO and the annual crop yield of about 2000 tons). Considering the climatic limitations and little precipitation over the past few decades, Sabzevari farmers have decided to change cropping patterns from grains and cotton to PISTACHIO in order to increase their compatibility with the environment. In general, lower water consumption, convenience, higher value-added, and less work force needed for planting PISTACHIO as compared with cotton have encouraged the farmers to grow PISTACHIO, which is more resistant to harsh climatic conditions. Accordingly, within the framework of sustainable development of AGRICULTURE, this study seeks to investigate the social and economic effects of planting PISTACHIO on PISTACHIO-growing households in rural areas of Sabzevar. It is clear that if the economic and social effects of growing strategic crops are not investigated, they may threaten the sustainability of the eco-systems. Therefore, the main research question is: what effects do PISTACHIO planting have on social and economic situation of the PISTACHIO-growers.
