Although Sistan and Baluchestan Province is renowned for its handicrafts and has the potential to contribute significantly to the local economy, the industry has not yet met expectations. The downturn in demand in the handicraft market has not only eroded the incentive to enter this industry, but also made some people unemployed in this area and had other side effects, such as an increase in rural-to-city migration and the lack of production of some handicrafts. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to evaluate and rate barriers to market development in the handicraft cooperatives of this province. The present research is applied and quantitative and the required information has been extracted using questionnaires and interviews with activists and experts of this field in Sistan and Baluchestan province. A total of 40 questionnaires were collected in 2022 and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results show that the limited holding of national or international exhibitions of handicrafts, investors' unwillingness to invest in handicrafts due to restrictive mechanisms and inadequate public propaganda to recognize the effects of handicrafts (especially tourists) are the most important barriers to the development of handicraft market are. The lack of design and use of integrated and scientific marketing systems for selling products by manufacturing companies, and the inability to sell handmade products directly by manufacturers, are also serious barriers to the lack of development of the province's handicraft market. However, the mismatch of provincial handicraft production with consumer tastes, diversity and product attractiveness is not a serious obstacle to the development of crafts markets.

According to the diversity of household consumption patterns and the importance of how to allocate limited household income to different goods and services, the study of household consumption behavior using expenditure elasticity estimates has a special place in economic policies. Therefore, in this study, the raw data of the Statistics Center of Iran in two consecutive years 2017 and 2018 to analyze the food consumption behavior of rural households in Khorasan Razavi have been separated into nine food groups. This study showed that significant changes have been observed in the pattern of food consumption during these two years. The share of food budget in 2018 compared to 2017 has increased from 41% to 53% and also, the expenditure elasticity of food groups has increased in 2018 compared to 2017 and some food groups have changed from essential to luxury that, result indicates a decrease in household welfare. The results also show that low-income families have higher food expenditure elasticity than higher-income families. Balance of scale is found in food costs, which means that an extra family member reduces additional costs. Reducing the consumption of cereals and increasing the consumption of fruits and meat means revising the supply of food. Although cereals and bread are the main food items of rural households in Khorasan Razavi, but, according to the consumption pattern of rural households in Khorasan Razavi province, in order to solve food security problems, the production of other materials should be increased.

Equivalent scale is a good solution to this problem and provides an indicator for comparing the well-being of households with the number of different members. Equivalent scale indicates how much extra money is needed to increase the size of a household so that it can be as comfortable as a reference household _a family with two children_. Since the poverty line has been growing in Khorasan Razavi in 2018 and also the poverty line in different parts of Iran is very different from each other and therefore policies to support the poor should be considered in accordance with the conditions of each region. Therefore, a study that examines poverty in this province is necessary. Data used for income and expenditure of urban and rural households in Khorasan Razavi in 2018. The results showed that first, by choosing a reference household, the number of children and the elderly has a greater effect on the poverty rate than the per capita expenditure method. A simulation was then used to examine the change in average household expenditure by changing household size and transferring children and adults to higher levels. The results showed that by changing the size of the household, reducing the size of the household, the average cost increases. Also, with the transfer of children to the adult category, the average cost decreases, while with the transfer of adults to the elderly group, the average cost increases.

Giving the importance to management of agricultural units, politics decision based on cultivation method containing the goals priority of agricultural units will get important and selecting a method which can include variety of managers goals and guide them to optimum goals is so important and serious.Therefore, in this study to determine the optimum model using linear programming method (single goal) and planning CGP (Multi choice goal) have placed. Information required through completing 188 questionnaires from farmers functions two-stage cluster sampling Torbat-of-classified to 1394, respectively. The results showed that the cultivation of wheat to the primary level increased and decreased alfalfa product. Barley in small and medium-scale crop farms and large farms without change to the primary level has increased and sugar beet in small-scale farms and in the fields of medium and large scale increase is unchanged means pattern is removed. The cotton crop in small farms and farms of medium and large scale unchanged compared to the initial level decreased
