Goal: The present study aimed to demonstrate the applicability of the fuzzy goal programming to frame the decision support system for the decision-makers to deal with the real-life problem of the agriculture sector namely the apple cultivation planning problem and to obtain an optimum solution.
Design / Methodology / Approach: The proposed method occurred within the apple-producing sector in the Kashmir valley of India and included the collection of data through interviews and surveys with various farmers. Also, the results were drawn with the help of LINGO 18.0.
Results: The current finding implies that all of the desired objectives have been met, as well as an optimal solution. The proposed model offers a significant approach for designing plans to determine various agricultural activities in a fuzzy decision environment. Finally, the current study conducts a case study in the apple cultivation sector to obtain various competing objectives. Sensitivity analysis was also performed on its preferential weight parameters.
Limitations of the investigation: It should be noted that the parameters related to production cost, transportation cost, and cost of material may change over the years. The selling price may also vary according to the quality of apples and over the years. Because of natural factors, the annual production of apples may also vary.
Practical implication: The current study shows that using fuzzy goal programming techniques in an apple production process has a huge potential to increase farmers' income. It can be concluded that the current study can help decision-makers to deal with real-life planning issues in the agricultural sector. Future research can also take advantage of other initiation strategies.
Originality/Value: The study looks at the applicability of the fuzzy goal programming paradigm in a new field of apple production in the agriculture sector. According to our knowledge, this is the first time the optimization model has been used in the apple cultivation sector.
