Abstract
In this paper, a Linear Programming model is developed to obtain a land allocation plan that can yield the optimal profits and is applied to a set of parameters in a small-holder production farm. The objective of the model is to maximize the profit. The limited resources—Land, fertilizers, irrigation water, labor, and fuel—are transformed into constraints in the model. It is found out that the plan obtained by the LP model is more profitable than the original plan of the farm, which presents that the LP model can help the farmers to make better production plans.
