Profit Optimization in Agricultural Crop Production in Belthangady Taluk Using Linear Programming Models

India, being a developing economy, depends greatly on agriculture, which under pins the livelihoods of a large segment of its population. Agriculture serves not only as a food source for millions but also plays a crucial role in economic development, offering jobs and creating income for both farmers and workers. Nonetheless, the industry encounters ongoing issues like inadequate access to quality resources, a lack of skilled work force, in effective markets, and decreasing production levels. To address these challenges, the use of linear programming—an optimization method grounded in science and mathematics—has surfaced as a viable solution. By effectively distributing resources, enhancing crop selections, and maximizing returns within established limits, linear programming enables farmers and decision-makers to make informed choices, promoting sustainable agricultural methods and boosting productivity to satisfy increasing needs.
