The rural areas of Khorasan-Razavi province play an important role in the production of medicinal plants in the country. After saffron, cumin, borage and rosemary account for the largest cultivated area in this province. Knowledge of the cost structure of medicinal plant production can lead to providing solutions to reduce the cost and increase the income of farmers, which will increase the welfare of the producers of these products in the villages of this province. To this end, the aim of this study is to investigate the cost of production of major medicinal plants in the villages of Khorasan-Razavi province. The data required for this research was collected by using random sampling method through interviews and completing questionnaires in 2017-2018. In examining the production structure, using the estimation of the Translog cost function for each of the examined products, the substitution relations between the production inputs have been estimated and based on that, the economy of scale in the production of each product has been examined. Results showed that the Translog cost model had a good fit to the researched data. Estimation of price elasticities using this function showed that price sensitivity to chemical fertilizer input in cumin production, poison and labor force in rosemary production is high. Also, in the study of economies of scale, it was found that the production of borage flowers in large-scale farms is more economical compared to small farms.
