Abstract

Production rate in a community is the most important indicator to present the level of economic activity in that community which, on the one hand, depends on the extent to which the factors of production are available and, on the other hand, how these factors are combined to produce goods and services. This study was aimed to calculate rangeland economic rent related to the livestock products. The research method in this study was field-descriptive, and statistical population of present research consisted of rangeland exploiters of over 124 families. A randomized sampling was conducted in this research and the number of samples was calculated to be 124 families using Cochran formula. The data were collected using questionnaires. The results indicated that average income from livestock products in Kojenagh was 7861195.65 Tomans and benefit was calculated to be 291915000 after subtracting obvious and hidden costs. Economic rent related to livestock products was 62375 Tomans per hectare in year and rangeland expected value from livestock products regarding discounted rate of 10% was 6237.5 Tomans per hectare. Marketing margins related to livestock production was estimated to be 19 percent annually, and annual employment was about 16.
