Abstract

This study applies the optimal mathematical model to develop a rational agricultural land-use structure that brings economic, social, and environmental benefits to Que Son district, Quang Nam province. We utilized the method of focus group discussions and household interviews. One hundred and twenty-five households directly engaging in agricultural production in five communes of the district participated in the study. The model was used to build the agricultural land-use structure with the following conditions: limiting the cultivated area, ensuring food security, and guaranteeing labour in the agriculture sector. The results indicate that Que Son district needs to reduce 29.1 ha for peanuts and 8.8 ha for vegetable cultivation while increasing 387.6 ha for maize, 190.1 ha for sweet potato, and 190.1 ha for sesame cultivation.
