Investigating the Privatization Experiences of Developing and Developing Countries in Agricultural Research and Presenting Modeling in Iran

The overall purpose of this study is to examine the privatization experiences of developing and developed countries in agricultural research and modeling in the Iranian agricultural sector. In the first stage, the influential factors in privatization were identified using the cross-linked research method. For this purpose, 42 selected papers in internationally accredited journals in the period 2000-2018 were selected with a thematic focus on privatization and agricultural research. In five separate stages, the objectives, samples, research method, findings and results were selected. The results of this phase resulted in the separation of five key factors in privatization. The factors were 1) Causes of privatization tendency: to increase efficiency, improve government finances, expand capital markets, reduce costs, create employment, and reduce administrative bureaucracy 2) Privatization Barriers: Component Political and legal uncertainties, strong stakeholder opposition, government financial weakness, high unemployment, increased competition in world markets, inflation control, and reduced government tenure. 3) Privatization Disadvantages: Component the reluctance to provide services in disadvantaged areas, ignoring environmental issues, reducing government control over the type and quality of service provision, and the existence of insecure employment contracts 4) Solutions Privatization: Including equity, direct selling of assets, contracting, and restructuring of the consumer market. 5) Consequences of privatization: Increasing efficiency, improving government finances, reducing costs, creating employment and reducing bureaucracy. In the second phase of the research, using the qualitative research method by grounded theory, the five main factors identified were coded in three stages and the proposed model of agricultural privatization in Iran was put together to bring together the contexts, causes, solutions and consequences.
