Abstract
The importance of the research is emerged from importance of products that their price supported by the government. So, the research aims to know the effect of price support policy in increasing the equinity produced by many strategic crops during the period 1990- 2003. The research depended upon hypotheses that price support policy in Iraq is facing shortage in its connection to growth of strategic crops. The result revealed that: The price support policy is one of the policies required by the agricultural development process in Iraq. The practical side of the research showed that significant variable (agricultural loans) in rice and cotton crops, (the difference between the agricultural and marketing interest rate) in wheat, barley and rice crops, (fertilize support prices) in wheat, barley, rice, cotton and sugar beets, (pesticides price support) in wheat, barley, corn flax crops, (machinery prices support) in wheat, barley, rice and sugar beets, (the budget deficit ratio to the GDP) in all crops studied in input model. Also, the significant value has been revealed in variable (supporting the final product price) in all studied crops, (the budget deficit ratio to the GDP) in wheat, rice, corn flax, cotton and sugar beets. But, there is no significant value for the variable (price of purchased crops by the government) for the all crops studied in output model. .
