Profit Optimization in Chilli Marketing using a Linear Programming Model: A Case Study of Bilasipara Sub-division, Dhubri, Assam, India
Abstract
Chilli farming in the Bilasipara sub-division of Dhubri district, Assam plays a significant role in local agriculture and rural income. This study develops a Linear Programming (LP) model to optimize profits from chilli selling by small and marginal farmers. Using empirical data on costs, revenue, land constraints, and market prices, we calculate the optimal allocation of chilli varieties to maximize overall profit. A case scenario demonstrates the effectiveness of LP in practical decision-making.
