Abstract

In this paper, we propose a method to decide a strategic planting in Agricultural. This method decides which crops should be planted and how much area should be assigned to each of the crops in order to secure a steady income in agricultural management. This means to minimize the risk of the profits and to maximize the expected interest. In this analysis, we employ a mean-variance analysis to deal with this problem, which has been proposed by H. Markowitz. We employ a Boltzmann Machine to solve a mean-variance model. In a numerical discussion, we employ the cost data of vegetable production in Nagano Prefecture.
