The paper illustrates the use of a forward and backward linkage agricultural production simulation model. CHICKSIM III is a comprehensive, farm-level, and stochastic capital budgeting simulation model which provides an analytical framework for simulating probable consequences of production, marketing, financial, and policy variables on the profitability of a farm or agribusiness firm. The model is applied to evaluate the profitability of a representative farm producing broiler, beef, corn, and kenaf. |
