PROFIT OPTIMISATION, IMPROVED FARMING METHODS AND GOVERNMENT OBJECTIVES: A NIGERIAN CASE STUDY
使用线性规划分析尼日利亚奥贡州农户的资源配置，发现转向玉米/山药混合种植可使利润提高约60%，但政府希望推广本地水稻以替代进口，需改进技术来协调双方目标。
Linear programming is used to show that collective farmers' returns in Ogun State could be increased by about 60% if resources were diverted towards the production of maize/yam mixture rather than the local rice desired by the government to substitute for imports. To reconcile the farmers' goal of receiving maximum profits with the government's desire for local rice, improved technology must be adopted.
