Abstract

The study is concerned with analyzing the effects of governmental intervention in wheat production within northern region of Iraq for the cultivation season (2018-2019) the study employs policy analysis matrix (pam) approach in the northern region of Iraq for the cultivation season (2018-2019). This approach would determine the comparative advantage coefficients for wheat crop that helps to assign the best regions for wheat planting In addition, the value of social profitability coefficient would participate in the planning of crop production. The study concludes that the profitability Coefficient value for wheat was (1.12). It also indicates that local producer achieve benefit from government policy. Nevertheless, the value of local resource cost for wheat was (0.45) less than one for the cultivation season (2018-2019). This shows that means the north region of Iraq have a comparative advantage in wheat production for that year moreover, the value of Producer Subsidy Ratio was (5.32%) that mean there was a large subsidy from government to producers. The value of private Cost Coefficient Ratio was (0.42) which reveals that the invested capital in wheat production is more than the costs. As a result, profits achieved to the local inves
tors in the northern region of Iraq for the agricultural season (2018-2019).

Keywords: economic effects, government intervention, northern regions, wheat crop.
