摘要：In the modern world, where food security has become one of the main challenges of society, profitability of agricultural production gains a specific importance. Thus the main objective of this study is to determine the most profitable structure of sown area in Azerbaijan through allocation of the sown area according to requirements of crops and the natural-climatic conditions of the regions. Taking these factors into account the profitability of current structure of sown area in Azerbaijan has been analyzed. The analysis, have been implemented on crop and regional level. This is important, as Azerbaijan has 10 economic regions and natural-climatic conditions of these regions differ from each other. Also, each group of crops requires specific temperature and water resources. In order to gain the main goal, the profit of each group of crops per hectare for the last ten years for each region of the country and the average profit for this period has been calculated. Based on the comparison of results the most profitable crops for each region have been determined. The natural-climatic conditions of the regions and temperature and water requirements of each group of crops have also been analyzed in order to find the evidence based reasons for the profitability of different crops in different regions. And based on the results of this analysis the more profitable structure of sown area for the country have been determined. Detailed calculations, analysis and research taking into account new socio-economic conditions make this study a valuable document and the results of this research can be used to assure the food security of the country, as a background information for policy making in agriculture, regional development programs, specialization of agricultural production in regions and so on.
