Abstract

The agricultural production system composes of several conflicting resources that must be combined to yield the desired product output. However, some goals are not conflicting in the system; therefore, this study presents a multi-objective optimization problem using a multi-fractional fuzzy programming concept. The objective is to optimize the profit ratio to cash expenditure and production of crops in different seasons under the restriction of fertilizer, machine, manpower, water consumption, and land utilization. The proposed model is illustrated with numerical examples for validation from an agrirean village in northern Nigeria. The result shows meaningful achievements and improvement in six crops out of the seven crops for both the dry and rainy seasons. Thus the concept is recommended for decision-makers for proper planning and productive yield in the agricultural industry for ensuring food security and the global sustainable developments.
