The aim of the present study was to evaluate the welfare effects and vulnerability of rural households from the increase in food prices due to the devaluation of the national currency in Golestan province. In this regard, Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QAIDS) was estimated for 14 food groups used by the rural households of Azadshahr County, Golestan province, by separating two groups of rural households with above and below the average income. In the following, in order to determine the changes in the well-being of households, the index of Compensating Variation (CV) and then the index of vulnerability of rural households were calculated. The required information was collected by completing the household income and feed expenditure questionnaire with the help of Golestan Province Health Center. The studied community in this research is the rural households of Azadshahr County, which was obtained by using Cochran's formula, the sample size included 260 households. Then the sample households were selected using the cluster sampling method. The required information was collected by completing the household income and feed cost questionnaire with the help of Golestan Province Health Center in 2017 and 2018. The results showed that due to the increase in food prices, the welfare index of Compensating Variation (CV) in the groups above and below the average income is equivalent to 4603.77 and 5438.99 thousand Rials, respectively. Therefore, the well-being of the studied rural households has been weakened. This result is also confirmed by the vulnerability index, so that based on this index, the level of vulnerability of rural households in households with high and low income is calculated as 20.08 and 51.83%, respectively. Therefore, in order to improve food security and living standards of rural households, it is necessary to support them at least as much as the index of compensatory changes calculated.
