It is impossible to have mindful presence in the global markets without suitable commercial policies for many of the developing countries such as IRAN. Agricultural sector as one of the important economic sectors in the country needs more attention than other sectors because of its natural potential, comparatively effective role in the food security in the country.

The results showed that the exiting cropping pattern was not allotted with comparative advantage but is related to the effective protection coefficient.
